A therapist/psychotherapist (PhD degree) is what one would refer to as the “talk therapy” type person. They sit down with you in a 1-on-1 session and you discuss any issues you might be having and they essentially coach you or provide the correct treatment or assistance in accordance with your current situation/mental illness.
A psychiatrist is a person who has a Medical Degree (MD) and therefore, can prescribe medications. They usually dispense psychiatric medications to patients with mental illnesses such as bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and more.
