What is the difference between a psychiatrist and a psychologist?

A psychiatrist and a psychologist both work in the field of mental health, but their main difference lies in their treatment approach. A psychiatrist is a medical doctor who, after completing medical school, has specialized in psychiatry. They usually treat mental illnesses from a medical perspective, using medications, psychotherapy, and counseling. A psychologist, however, typically has studied psychology and treats psychological issues through counseling, psychotherapy, and non-medical techniques such as talk therapy.

How do I know if I need to see a psychiatrist?

If you are experiencing persistent sadness, anxiety, sleep problems, or difficulty functioning in daily life, consulting a psychiatrist can help.

Are the consultations confidential?
