There is one psychiatrist or psychologist for every 2,641 Americans.
Psychiatrists have completed medical school and can prescribe drugs. Psychologists do not have medical training.
That’s Sigmund Freud pictured above.
Psychiatrists and Psychologists
Psychiatrists can write prescriptions, and usually don’t talk to the patient, other than about the meds.
Psychologists do the talking with the patient, and can’t write scripts.
