What differentiates psychiatrists from psychologists and therapists?
Psychiatry and psychology are overlapping professions. Practitioners, such as psychiatrists, psychologists, and licensed therapists, are mental health professionals. At times, they work hand in hand to prevent, diagnose, and treat mental illness. But they are not synonymous with each other.
Psychiatrist.A psychiatrist is a medical doctor who specializes in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of mental illness. They are trained to distinguish mental health problems from other underlying medical conditions. Psychiatrists can prescribe medication, but may refer patients to a psychologist or therapist for additional counseling or therapy.
Psychologists. A psychologist has a doctoral degree (PhD, PsyD, or EdD) in psychology, who specializes in the study of behaviors and mental processes. They can help people learn to understand and handle different life problems and mental health issues. They do not have a medical degree and are not trained in general medicine or prescribing medications. That means, they cannot prescribe medications or write orders for procedures.
Licensed Mental Health Therapist. A licensed counselor who has a master's degree (MA) in psychology, counseling, or a related field. It can be a clinical social worker, psychiatric, or mental health nurse. A mental health counselor is qualified to evaluate and treat mental problems by providing counseling, psychotherapy, or talk therapy.
