About Psychiatrist
Psychiatrists specialize in treating mental illness and disorders. Unlike psychologists, psychiatrists can prescribe medications for the disorders. The professional practice of psychiatry began with Sigmund Freud, but the 'talking cure' that he developed has fallen out of fashion and medications are more commonly used than psychotherapy to 'cure' mental illness.
About Doctor
Doctors are here to make people healthier. When people get sick the doctor’s job is to figure out why. They examine people, listen to them describe their health problems, and do tests to see what is wrong. They give people medicine and other kinds of treatment. They also give advice about diet, exercise, and sleep.
