What is psychology about and how is it different to psychiatry?
Psychology is about studying the mind, how the mind works, and how it affects our behaviours. In psychology, psychologists examine the relationships between brain function and behaviour, and the environment and behaviour. Subsequent to this, psychologists then apply therapeutic techniques to help our Guests understand any psychological distress, improve on them, and the world around them.Conversely, psychiatrists are medical doctors and prescribe medication for specific conditions. Psychologists are specialized in psychological assessments to help diagnose the mental conditions. While psychiatrists diagnose illness and manage treatment.
