Hello there!

Greetings!

They both are very different .Psychiatrists are trained medical doctors, Psychiatrists attend medical school and are trained in general medicine. After earning an MD, they practice four years of residency training in psychiatry ,they can prescribe medications, and they spend much of their time with patients on medication management as a course of treatment whereas Psychologists obtain a PhD or PsyD doctoral degree, , which can take up to four or six years. They don't go to medical college for their studies . Throughout their education, psychologists study personality development, the history of psychological problems and the science of psychological research. Graduate school provides rigorous preparation for a career in psychology by teaching students how to diagnose mental and emotional disorders in varying situations. After graduate school, psychology students are required to complete an internship that can last one to two years, they focus extensively on psychotherapy and treating emotional and mental suffering in patients with behavioral intervention. Psychologists are also qualified to conduct psychological testing, which is critical in assessing a persons mental state and determining the most effective course of treatment.

Thankyou
