What is Psychiatry?

Psychiatry is a branch of medicine specifically focused on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of mental, behavioral, and emotional disorders.

What is Psychology?

Psychology is the scientific study of the mind and behavior. Psychology itself is a multifaceted discipline that includes several sub-categories of study.

Psychiatrist vs. Psychologist: What’s the Difference?

Given the similarity in name and the fact that both of them treat mental illness, it’s easy to confuse a psychiatrist vs. a psychologist. However, it’s important to understand the distinction, so you know which can offer you the particular care you need.

At a base level, a psychiatrist is a medical doctor, whereas a psychologist is not. While psychologists usually possess a Ph.D., and are therefore a Doctor, they are typically not certified medical doctors. Let’s take a closer look at what psychiatrists and psychologists do, and treat, to better understand the difference.

What Can a Psychiatrist Treat?

  • Schizophrenia
  • Bipolar disorder
  • Severe depression
  • Insomnia
  • Severe stress or anxiety
  • Addiction
  • Eating disorders
  • PTSD
  • Suicidal thoughts
  • Violent outbursts
  • And more

What Can a Psychologist Treat?

  • Generalized anxiety
  • Generalized stress
  • Depression
  • Overcoming traumatic experiences
  • Long-term anxiety
  • Addiction
  • Negative thinking
  • Behavioral problems
  • Organizational issues
  • Learning disabilities 
  • And more

What Do Psychiatrists Do?

  • Help manage long term mental illness
  • Address urgent, sudden mental illness
  • Prescribe medications, if necessary
  • Order/perform psychological tests
  • Perform advanced therapies like TMS and ECT

What Can a Psychologist Do?

  • Assess patterns in behavior
  • Develop and follow through with treatment plans
  • Work with physicians as necessary
  • Diagnose mental or behavioral disorders
  • Help patients learn coping mechanisms 

Should I See a Psychologist or a Psychiatrist?

If you’re dealing with a complex condition that is effecting your quality of life, especially if these conditions generally require medication, you may want to see a psychiatrist. On the other hand, maybe you’re dealing with generalized stress, anxiety, or depression, and want to learn more about how your behaviors and thoughts are effecting your life. A psychologist will help you learn more about those behaviors, and how you can overcome them.

While some mental health issues are best treated with a combination of psychiatry and psychology, when seeking mental health services near you, it’s important to keep the following in mind:

  • Choose a provider who has experience treating your condition
  • Choose a provider that makes you feel welcome and comfortable
  • Choose a provider that is able to fit your schedule
