Psychiatry vs. Psychology vs Therapy
Psychiatry is a medical specialty focused on diagnosing and treating mental health disorders. Psychiatrists (who are medical doctors) and psychiatric nurse practitioners may incorporate medications, talk therapy, and other treatments in their work with patients.
In contrast, psychologists hold doctoral degrees (PhD or PsyD) and specialize in psychological assessments, diagnosis, and psychotherapy but cannot prescribe medications. Therapists, such as licensed clinical social workers (LCSWs), licensed professional counselors (LPCs), and licensed marriage and family therapists (MFTs), typically hold master’s degrees and also provide psychotherapy, diagnoses, and counseling to help individuals cope with emotional challenges.
Conditions That Can be Treated Through Psychiatry
- Anxiety Disorders
- Mood Disorders
- Psychotic Disorders
- Eating Disorders
- Personality Disorders
- Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
- Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
- Neurodevelopmental Disorders, such as ADHD
Psychiatric Medication Management
Psychiatric medication management involves the careful prescribing, monitoring, and adjusting of medications used to treat mental health disorders. It plays a vital role in psychiatric care, requiring collaboration between the psychiatrist, the patient, and sometimes other healthcare providers.
