Psychologists and Psychiatrists: What’s the Difference?

People commonly confuse psychiatrists and psychologists, but they’re very different professions within the mental health field. Psychiatrists are medical doctors who are licensed to prescribe medications like antidepressants.

Psychologists are licensed to provide evidence-based talk therapy (psychotherapy). Psychologists can be counseling psychologists or clinical psychologists. They usually have advanced degrees like PhDs or PsyDs (both doctorate degrees), but are not medical doctors.
