How is a psychologist different from a psychiatrist?
Psychologists are regulated health professionals who undergo extensive training and supervision in the understanding and psychotherapeutic treatment of human behavior and emotions. Psychologists can provide extensive assessments that serve to inform the course of treatment.
Psychiatrists are medical doctors who specialize in mental illness and are trained to prescribe medication. Some may also provide psychotherapy.
