What is the difference between a psychologist and a psychotherapist or psychiatrist?
The simplest answer lies in the education required for each profession, a psychologist has knowledge in the psychology niche, and a psychiatrist and psychotherapist have a degree in the medical field.
A psychologist is a specialist with a higher education in the humanities. He may have qualifications: “bachelor”, “specialist”, “master”. A psychologist is not a doctor. He does not have the right to make a medical diagnosis and does not prescribe pharmacological drugs. The activities of a psychologist in Russia are not subject to licensing. Its functions are to carry out psychodiagnostic, correctional, rehabilitation and psychoprophylactic measures.
The goal of a psychologist’s work with a specific client is counseling, assistance, support, motivation for change, correction of dysfunctional or erroneous links in thinking and behavior.
A psychiatrist is a specialist in clinical medicine who studies mental health and disorders using scientific methodological principles. The predominant method of treatment is the use of pharmacological drugs. Area of expertise: psychotic conditions, schizophrenia, manic-depressive disorders, phobic-anxious and obsessive-compulsive disorders, epilepsy, post-stroke conditions, consequences of traumatic brain injury, alcoholism, drug addiction, developmental delays, dementia.
A psychotherapist is a specialist trained as a physician and with additional education in the field of psychotherapy. His arsenal includes techniques of psychological influence (conversation, identifying internal conflicts, searching for ways to solve problems, special psychotherapeutic techniques, hypnosis), and the use of pharmacotherapy.

Life in a big city dictates its own rhythm. We are constantly in a hurry to somewhere - either to work, or to meet with friends and colleagues, solving a lot of problems along the way. Unfortunately, things don’t always work out as planned. Our relatives and friends do not always understand us, they often let us down and upset us. All this affects our mood, we argue and prove that we are right, we get offended, we quarrel, which ultimately affects our psychological health.
What to do in such a situation? Is it possible to avoid conflicts and stress and ultimately not become depressed? Many will say that you need to learn to control yourself and not pay attention to the “little things.” However, not everyone has such self-control, is able to control their emotions and react calmly to negative circumstances.
When we find ourselves in a difficult situation, we often turn to friends and family for advice. But it’s worth keeping in mind that many people can give advice, only to what extent they will be useful for you... Only a competent specialist - a psychologist - can help you look at the situation from the outside, give truly valuable recommendations for resolving conflict and restoring psychological balance.
Many people are still embarrassed to contact a psychologist and believe that they can solve everything on their own. However, in Western countries it is common practice to have a family, child, corporate and even personal psychologist. And we do not advise you to remain alone with the problem. In addition, your conversation with a psychologist is guaranteed to remain confidential and no one will know about it.

What problems does a psychologist work with?
Practicing psychologists have the professional training and skills to help people learn to cope more effectively with life's problems. Some clients simply need to talk to a psychologist because they have suffered from loneliness, depression, anger or anxiety for a long time. Others need psychological help for a chronic somatic illness that interferes with a full life. Psychologists are turned to for a variety of short-term natural problems, for example, when it is impossible to decide on a course in life, a feeling of overload with work, or when grieving over the death of a family member.
Psychologists help people cope with stressful situations, overcome addictions, and manage their chronic diseases. Using tests and questionnaires, they diagnose the client's psychological state and offer genuine information about how a person thinks, feels and behaves. The tests assess intellectual skills, cognitive strengths and weaknesses, professional abilities and preferences, and personal characteristics.
There are many different styles of psychological counseling. However, the psychologist works taking into account the characteristics of a particular client. He will determine the best approach to solving the problem that will suit the characteristics and preferences of the patient. Therapy can be carried out individually or in the form of a family or group.
Many practicing psychologists work in private practice or collaborate with a group of other health professionals. They work in schools, colleges and universities, hospitals, correctional facilities, veterans' medical centers, businesses, nursing homes, and rehabilitation centers.
Psychological counseling is useful in a variety of situations, including:
- traumatic event;
- fatigue associated with improper work and rest patterns;
- internal chronic stress;
- consequences of conflicts;
- recurrent apathy not associated with a psychosomatic or psychotic illness;
- long-term or incurable illness, disability;
- crises in personal life and at work;
- dissatisfaction with oneself;
- inadequate self-esteem;
- conflict atmosphere in the family;
- problems in social interaction.

In what cases should you consult a doctor rather than a psychologist?
Seeking psychiatric help is necessary if a person and others notice significant changes in mental status, emotional state, and behavior. Medical intervention is mandatory if it is difficult to diagnose or differentiate psycho-emotional disorders using standard psychological tests.
An emergency consultation with a psychiatrist or psychotherapist is required if there are suicidal ideas, plans, or suicide attempts. A mental health team is called in case of severe pathologies - psychosis, especially if the attack occurs suddenly. The patient is referred to a specialist when he needs medications that only a psychiatrist can prescribe. This step is also indispensable if the patient does not respond to standard therapy carried out by a general practitioner (family doctor).
