Do Psychiatrists and Psychologists prescribe medication?
Only psychiatrists can prescribe medications; psychologists cannot prescribe medications. Psychologists can coach and guide you on how to enhance your mental health but cannot prescribe any drugs. If they believe medication is necessary for your case, they will refer you to a psychiatrist.
How do I know if I should see a Psychiatrist or a Psychologist?
Individual needs and preferences dictate the choice. Psychiatrists, being medical doctors, specialize in medication management and offer various therapies, especially for severe cases where behavioral interventions have proven ineffective. Psychologists, typically holding a PhD in psychology, provide therapy customized to address emotional and behavioral challenges. The crucial factor is finding a healthcare provider with whom you feel comfortable and who can guide you toward achieving optimal mental wellness.
Are sessions with Psychiatrists and Psychologists confidential?
Yes, confidentiality is paramount in the therapist-patient relationship. What is discussed in therapy sessions remains strictly confidential.
