The Difference Between Psychiatry and Psychology

In medical school, you learn about the pathology of the human body and the human mind. And when you finish all that, you have to do a medical internship; then you do three years of specialty training in psychiatry. So it's equivalent if you were going to be an anesthesiologist or an obstetrician or a pediatrician,. You have the same basic education and then you specialize after you graduate from medical school. The psychiatrist ends up being able to prescribe and sort of speaks to medical language.
