psychologist = a person who studies the psyche (brain/feelings/emotions), they cannot prescribe drugs to patients
psychiatrist = also studies the psyche, can prescribe drugs to patients.
psychologist and psychotherapist differ in the way they treat patients and in the treatments they use.
psychologist is not much different from a psychoanalyst, but they differ also in the treatments they use for patients.

A psychologist is a person who studies the mind. All of those 3 other guys could be considered psychologists, because they have studied psychology. They are different than most psychologists because they have special training to treat mental illness. A psychiatrist is a medical doctor, who prescribes drugs, a psychotherapist does psychotherapy, A psychoanalyst does psychoanalysis. There are guys called clinical psychologists who do various forms of psychotherapy, they cant write a prescription. If you are a polls & surveys regular, the one you need to see is a psychiatrist.

the first one checks out yuh brain to make sure you function properly.
one checks the brain the other makes you tell them your business and goes home and make you topic of discussion for dinner.
they are the same.
One examines the other gets in mitty gritty.
So basically they are all the same right. I don't care. I say they are all the same.
