Most psychologists do not prescribe medications. So, in conditions such as mild panic attacks, anxiety, acute depression, drug abuse etc. that cause behavioural, mental, emotional, communicative, and cognitive problems, patients often seek their help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Clinical Psychologists have a master&#8217;s in Psychology that also includes internship and specialised clinical training as part of their course curriculum<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Talk therapy or counselling is the most common mode of treatment a psychologist uses. Through counselling, they gain an insight into the depth or cause of the turmoil the patient is experiencing and also, help them come out of it through therapy-based techniques such as psychotherapy, cognitive behaviour therapy, relaxation therapy etc. The counselling sessions could be single or multiple, one-to-one or group sessions. The family members of the patient may also, be counselled to have better outcomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For children with behavioural, cognitive or communication disturbances or children facing academic difficulties, psychologists play a major role as they can treat the kids with \u2018play therapy that helps in understanding the child more and gives the kids a comfortable and safe environment to express themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A psychologist can also, perform psychological tests such as personality tests, IQ tests etc.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link\" href=\"https:\/\/drsafehands.com\/global-tele-counseling?utm_source=blog\">Book a session with Psychologist<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Psychiatrists:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Psychiatrists, on the other hand, are certified medical doctors having an MD (Doctor of Medicine) degree and have the authority to prescribe medications for mental disorders. Thus, patients with more complex or chronic mental conditions such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, chronic depression, Alzheimer\u2019s etc <a title=\"Consultation\" href=\"https:\/\/drsafehands.com\/global-tele-counseling\">consult a psychiatrist<\/a>. A psychiatrist can also, provide therapy-based treatments such as Electroconvulsive (shock) therapy, Light therapy etc.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Psychiatrists perform a comprehensive examination of the mental health of the patient by means of diagnostic tools such as psychological or lab tests and prescribe medicines accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In most cases especially of depression and anxiety, psychologists and psychiatrists work hand-in-hand wherein the psychiatrist prescribes antidepressants, sedatives or other antipsychotic medications while the psychologist provides the necessary counselling or therapy sessions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both psychiatrists and psychologists form an integral part of a system to address mental health issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link\" href=\"https:\/\/drsafehands.com\/global-tele-counseling?utm_source=blog\">Book a session with Psychiatrist<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mental Health Checkup: Psychologist vs Psychiatrist Whenever one\u2019s mental health is disturbed and medical advice is required, the two professionals that come to mind are Psychologists and Psychiatrists.
