Understanding Psychiatry and Psychology
Many people use the terms psychiatry and psychology interchangeably, yet they play distinct and complementary roles in mental healthcare.
Psychiatry
Psychiatrists are medical doctors who specialise in diagnosing and treating mental health conditions that may involve biological or chemical imbalances in the brain. They can prescribe medication, manage complex disorders, and coordinate care for patients experiencing conditions such as:
– Depression and bipolar disorder
– Anxiety and panic disorders
– Schizophrenia and psychosis
– Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
– Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
– ADHD and sleep disorders
Psychology
Psychologists focus on understanding thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. They use therapeutic approaches to help people change unhelpful patterns, develop coping skills, and achieve emotional balance. Common therapies include:
– Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
– Mindfulness-Based Therapy
– Family and Couples Therapy
– Trauma-Focused Therapy (EMDR)
– Behavioural Interventions for children and adolescents
Together, psychiatry and psychology provide a holistic approach that addresses both the mind and body, ensuring sustainable recovery and long-term wellbeing.
