Whats the difference between a psychologist and a counselor?

Answer #1

Counselor is someone who gives advice about problems. Physiatrists are medical doctors who are:

  • Experts at diagnosing and treating pain

  • Restore maximum function lost through injury, illness or disabling conditions

-Treat the whole person, not just the problem area

-Lead a team of medical professionals

-Provide non-surgical treatments

-Explain your medical problems and treatment plan

-Work not only on treatment but also prevention

Answer #2

I think that a phychologist can prescribe medication for depression and stuff like that and a councelor cant. The phychologist is more of a mental health D.r.

Answer #3

okaay thanks! (:

Answer #4

Sigh. None of that was correct… A psychologist is someone with a PhD (i.e. a doctorate), a counselor has a masters degree. A PSYCHIATRIST is a medical doctor.
