◘◘◘What is the difference between a psychiatrist and a psychologist?◘◘◘

If you say to a psychiatrist "I hate my mother," he will ask "Why do you say that?" while a psychologist will say "Thank you for sharing that with us."

@dannynovacain No that is where you're wrong. My mum is a psychiatrist and she doesn't just hand out medication on the spot to "cleanse the sick mind". There is a lot more to it. The fact that you need to spend four years in Medical School THEN specialize in Psychiatry would be enough to prove that there is a lot more to what a Psychiatrist does than what your cynical opinion states. Hence Psychiatrists having to study more, and therefore being more qualified than a Psychologist. There you go

I dont think knowledge of all what we gather from all theory were learning is very effective, applying psychologist, neurologist with those victim of mental disorder like anxiety , depression phobias , watch my conceal tape about the long treatment ,doctors who understand these emotional problem , the patient testify any of what he was taking , medicine is useless, good only for temporary effect but not cure . is it the thing that we learned from these profession.

@dannynovacain It was a joke.

@cokas22 You're a psychologist? Oh really?

[dannynovacain]

@neil865 All psychologists can't spell? That's a broad statement, kind of like how psychiatrists ignorantly label all their patients. In my experience I have found a lot of psychiatrists to be judgmental control freaks.

The difference is simple; PSYCHIATRISTS hand out drugs in a vein attempt at cleansing the sick mind when really a sick society is often to blame. PSYCHOLOGISTS deal with the issues at hand emotional, physical and social, they do not deal with drugs. Simple. This video is clearly pro psychiatry propaganda. Just listen to the house ninja on the video sucking big pharma's balls, slurp slurp.

Psychiatrist-A medical doctor that can prescribe you medication.

Psychologist-A person to do psychotherapy. SIMPLE!
