It can be difficult to determine whether you have a psychologist or a psychiatrist. In general, a psychologist would be the first choice if you’re seeking treatment for emotional or behavioral problems. Psychologists specialize in treating mental health issues using talk therapy and behavioral therapies. However, if you are dealing with serious mental health issues, such as mood disorders or psychosis, you may need to consult a psychiatrist. Psychiatrists are doctors who specialize in treating mental health issues using medication and other medical treatments.
If you're unsure, it's best to talk to your primary care physician to determine what's best for you. If you'd rather not talk to your primary care physician, you can also discuss it, with no obligation, with BrainArts discuss.
