Not only in Us any where it is the problem. They study about mind and hence the difference. Psychiatrists give medicines and Psychologists diagnose the disease. One person see the girl and another marries her

Consult a clinical psychologist, who believes in the use of the minimum amount of medications necessary. Because they don't prescribe, they are considerably less likely to be targeted by the sales reps from "BIG PHARMA", who profile them psychologically and use the approach deemed to be the most effective at manipulating their type.

Go to whoever is recommended for the prescription of any necessary medications. View http://your-mental-health.8m.com/index.html and page B. View the post on therapists on page P.

See the difference between psychiatrists and psychologists is that here in the U.S., the psychiatrists don't even evaluate their patients correctly and misdiagnose people so they can make more money off of medication. Psychologists do full on testing, give advice, and seem smarter (they can't prescribe medications). I feel like psychiatrists rip people off and it seems like a big scam.
Answer by MarkS
Psychology is the only field that can do psychological testing. There is a full battery of tests that only licensed psychologists can perform. Most are also trained in clinical work, better known through counseling and psychotherapy.
Few people seem to realize that some psychologists have been prescribing psychiatric medications for some years. They are limited, and cannot prescribe all meds.
Psychiatry follows the medical model much more closely. They are used primarily for evaluations (not testing) and ongoing medication prescription. Most psychiatrists have surprisingly little clinical training to do ongoing psychotherapy and counseling.
Another surprise to most people is that Social Workers do more clinical work (counseling and psychotherapy) in the US than psychology and psychiatry combined.
