Video Transcript

Psychologist vs. Psychiatrist: Mental Health

Featuring Dr. Mary Ross, PhD, RPsych

Duration: 1 minute

When you're experiencing psychological distress, you can choose different types of professionals to go to.

For a psychiatrist, you would need a referral from your GP. A psychiatrist is an MD, and they're going to take more of a biomedical model in their treatment, and their focus is probably going to be on the physiology of your distress. Their treatment is going to be primarily about prescribing and finding the right medication for you.

A psychologist's focus is on talk therapy: helping you figure out what sort of thoughts and feelings are causing you distress and what kinds of behaviours are not working for you,ö says Dr. Ross. ôThey can help you find new ways of coping and going forward differently.

If you have questions about mental health, contact a local psychiatrist or psychologist.
