Overview

Psychology is the study of our mind and behavior, and covers many areas such as social interactions, cognitive processes and our development. Psychiatry focuses on the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of emotional, behavioral and mental disorders. Many adults are affected by mental health conditions, such as depression, anxiety, phobias, addiction, and personality disorders.

A psychologist is a healthcare professional who is specially trained in a range of evaluation and therapeutic methods to address mental health conditions, helping people overcome the challenges that these conditions present. A psychiatrist is a doctor who is medically qualified to diagnose, prescribe medications for, and treat people with mental illness.

Psychiatrists and psychologists work together to ensure a complete understanding of an individual’s mental health concerns and provide a holistic approach to treatment.

When to see a mental health specialist   

Disorders that affect your mental health can significantly impact daily life. Unlike conditions which affect our physical health, we often overlook them and don’t seek the treatment we need. This may be due to stigma, fear, or a lack of understanding of the importance of our mental wellbeing.
