psychiatrist vs psychologist

A psychiatrist has a degree in medicine and a psychologist has a doctoral-level degree in psychology.

Psychiatrists are physicians that have specific training in the assessment, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of mental illnesses.

Psychiatrists can prescribe medications.

And there are different types of Psychologists.

Applied Psychologists
Research Psychologists
Mental Health Psychologists

The 3rd one probably is the most of us heard about it.

I remember when I was about the graduated form high school, Psychologists is the on top of my list to choice. Somehow I didn’t.

I’ll that’s a quite interesting field, but very tough too.
