    Psychiatrists are medical doctors who specialize in diagnosing and treating mental health disorders with a focus on medication management. They are essential for individuals with severe mental health conditions like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or depression that may require pharmacological treatment. 

    On the other hand, psychologists focus on therapeutic approaches, including psychotherapy and behavioural interventions, to help people cope with emotional, mental, and behavioural issues. 

    For individuals seeking therapy and behavioural change without medication, a psychologist might be the better choice.
