And this earned you a sub. I'm working toward a psychology degree and so many people don't get this. Neat!!

I have a psychologist and a psychiatrist, and I have to explain that they're separate people quite a bit.

Love this I explained this to my brother as I am studying psychology /criminal Justice at the moment. More so interested in psychology as I have literally been a therapist for my inner circle of people for YEARS lol.

I’ve only encountered one amazing like seriously amazing psychiatrist who did both. Even helped me career plan to boost my self esteem. God I miss him.

I really prefer to go to a therapy with a psychologist. The psychiatrist are very much medical influenced and prescribe things right away although for certain things like anxiety isn’t really necessary and advantageous for overcoming it long term.

Thank you so much for showing us aspiring (and already established) psychologists some love!

I was literally just thinking about that just randomly cuz I never knew the difference. Thank you!

Psychiatrists don't really do psychotherapy anymore thanks to private insurance companies pushing them into doing medication management or inpatient care only.

It's a mess if you are an outpatient with a tricky or complex diagnosis. Good luck getting your psychiatrist and psychotherapist to coordinate care adequately

In my undergrad degree, one of my professors kindly explained the difference when I spoke about my med school hesitations. He is a retired psychiatrist and spoke about how networking works with local psychologists and psychiatrists and his issues with most insurances he worked with.

Love how you’re so pro mental health care. The stigma around it that has plagued America is slowly losing its grip, and people with platforms promoting its importance is always a great thing to see.

Psychology also has applications outside the clinic. Such as marketing (product use experience, like making toys for kids) and workplace (industrial/organizational).

[CharliMorganMusic]

Yeah. I usually explain it as psychiatrists provide treatment and psychologists research what the best treatment would be. So psychiatrists are doctors and psychologists are researchers, broadly speaking. There is a ton of overlap and both have the skills to do eachothers' jobs.

This is why I see both of them :) hopefully I’m going to start improving soon
