Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Psychologists are not physicians and do not have medical degrees. They have a PhD or a PsyD and specialize in diagnosing and treating mental disorders through therapy, counseling, and other behavioral interventions. Psychiatrists, on the other hand, are medical doctors who have completed additional training in psychiatry and are able to prescribe medication as well as provide therapy for mental illness.
