What's the difference between a psychologist and a psychiatrist?

Psychologists have a four year degree in psychology plus 2 years supervision or a postgraduate qualification. Psychologists aim to help their clients change their problematic behaviours and thoughts and to develop appropriate strategies for dealing with life's challenges. Psychologists are not doctors and therefore they cannot prescribe medication. Psychologists are required to adhere to a code of professional ethics. You do not need a referral from your general practitioner to consult a psychologist.

Psychiatrists are medical doctors who did further study in the area of mental health. Psychiatrists, because they are doctors, are able to prescribe medication. Psychiatrists, like psychologists, are required to adhere to a code of professional ethics.

The only funding this site receives is that obtained from psychologists who pay to advertise their services on this website.
