Question:

When do people need a psychologist and when do you need a pychiatrys?

A pychiatrys gives you medication but a pycholagist cant bu he/she both help in simular ways but one can aply medicine and one cant.Is it that people with more sever problems go to pychiary[thats what i heard].Which would give you beter treatment and is smarter?


Answers:

Basically a psychiatrist can prescribe medicine and a psychologist cant. This is the way it works. You go to a doctors office and you will see the psychologist. You will talk to her about your problem and receive therapy, but if you need medicine then you will also see the psychiatrist. You will have periodic visits with the psychiatrist so that she can check on you and see how the medicine is working. If you chose to you can receive therapy with a psychiatrist but they charge a whole lot more to listen to you.
