   psychiatry, med school, prescribe drugs

   psychology, psych school, prescribe advice.

   if you were a psychologist with an MD you’d be a psychiatrist. psychiatrists caaaaaaaaaaaan but they’re so focused on medicine that psychologists are the ones focused on the people

   Psychiatrists do psychotherapy as well but they work mostly for the severely mentally ill, such as schizophrenics and what not. You can’t be a psychologist with an MD degree because that would be called a Psychiatrist.

   There are occasionally people who get both degrees. But that is a lot of college. We are talking 16-20 years of college.

   Psychiatrists can do therapy, but they usually don’t. They can make far more money just prescribing meds.
