Psychiatrist vs Psychologist vs Life Coach — Who is Right for Mental Health Support?
--
Head to Head Comparison of the Different Mental Health Professions
The decision of psychiatrist vs psychologist can be difficult -and then there are naturopaths and mental health coaches, brain health coaches, brain trainers, and life coaches — Help!
Many people I talk to are confused when they come to me. They know that they don’t feel good, that they are in emotional pain.
They ask themselves: Should I see a psychiatrist or a psychologist?
Most people consult a physician first (good) and — after a brief conversation and maybe a few tests — are told: You have depression and/or Anxiety. And here are some pills to take to help.
Often, that’s it.
They walk away thinking they are defective, something in their system is “out of order”, maybe even they feel even more worthless than before.
I decided to write this article to help clear the confusion and make it very obvious which one to choose in which situation (and it many be not what you thought).
