How is a Psychiatrist Different from a Psychologist?

Psychiatrists are medical doctors trained to diagnose and treat mental, emotional and behavioural health issues. They can prescribe medicines or offer other medical treatments. Psychologists focus on supporting mental health through talk therapy, evaluations and testing. They help individuals understand and manage emotions, mental conditions and relationships.
