COMMON QUESTIONS RELATED TO PSYCHIATRY AND PSYCHOLOGY

A Psychiatrist is a Medical Doctor who can Prescribe medication and manage the Biological aspects of Mental Illness. A Psychologist on the other hand does not Prescribe medication but provides Psychological Interventions by talking with clients - using Evidence-based Therapies like Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), Motivational Enhancement Therapy (MET), etc.
