Psychology is the study of mental processes like the brain. Philosophy is an investigation of what is true and untrue

Psychologists study the behaviour of the mind.

Philosophers ask questions like

What kind of things exist? (Metaphysics and ontology)
What are the things that we can know, and how do we know them? (Epistemology)
What is right? How do we live 'properly' (Ethics)

Contrary to popular cariacatures of philosophy, we don't spend much time asking questions like

What is the meaning of life?
Why are we all here?
What's the purpose of it all?
