What is the difference between psychology and psychiatry?

Both psychologists and psychiatrists are trained to understand how your brain works, how you think, and how you behave. Psychiatrists are medical doctors who diagnose mental health conditions and often focus on prescribing medication for complex issues. Clinical psychology takes a more personalised approach to mental health care, nurturing deep therapeutic relationships to help you navigate life’s challenges with support and guidance. Psychologists can also treat patients using alternative approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT).
