1. What’s the difference between a psychologist and a psychiatrist? From whom should someone with symptoms of depression seek help?

The Therapist answers:

A psychologist treats depression mainly from the cognitive and behavioural side, while a psychiatrist treats it from the medical side, focusing on diagnosis of symptoms and prescriptions. Both psychologists and psychiatrists are able to provide professional help for people with depression.
