A psychiatrist is a medical doctor (MD or DO) who specializes in diagnosing, treating, and preventing mental health conditions. Psychiatrist can prescribe medications as part of the treatment plan. Becoming a psychiatrist requires at least 12 years in higher education.
Psychiatrists are medical doctors who can prescribe medications and focus on the biological aspects of mental health conditions. Psychologists hold a doctoral degree (Ph.D. or Psy.D.) and specialize in psychotherapy and psychological assessments. While they often collaborate with psychiatrists, psychologists cannot prescribe medications in most states.
