Be My Friend - http://www.myspace.com/psychtr... John Breeding, Ph.D. psychologist discusses the difference between psychiatry and psychology. Psychiatry focuses on medical or physical interventions such as drugs, electroshock therapy, deep brain stimulation by electrode, psychosurgery, etc. This is the model of biological psychiatry. Behavior problems are considered to be actual medical illnesses with physical causes despite the fact that after over 100 years of attempts to identify a physical cause for mental illness, there are still none. Often time people are given antidepressants like Prozac, Zoloft, Paxil, Luvox, Celexa, Lexapro, Effexor or Wellbutrin. SSRI (Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors) are often promoted as correcting chemical imbalances in the brain but there is no proof that depression or mental illness is caused by chemical imbalances in the brain nor is there any proof that antidepressants correct an imbalance. These medications often time have horrible side effects like agitation and sexual dysfunction. Psychology by contrast acknowledges the potential of behavior problems being learned responses which can be corrected with therapy and communication, education and understanding. There are no cures in psychiatry. Psychiatric medications only suppress or inhibit symptoms of behavior problems. This creates long term mental health consumers who take expensive drugs but never fully recover from their difficulties.

@RazorsharpLT There is more to it than that. I think you are basing your information off the majority of students that major in psychology in there undergraduate years and do nothing with it after that. I will be getting my BA in psychology this spring and I am already in the process of getting my license to counsel people with chemical/alcohol dependencies while I continue in grad school in clinical psychology. Its not useless, do some research.

For those saying psychiatry is all bad and psychology is better, then why is the psychology world slowly dying and the psychiatric world growing? Psychiatric Times is obviously about psychiatry and have you read the latest Psychology Today magazines? They have been promoting the SSRIs and other drugs. I wish people didn't go straight to drugs and went to treatment first, but drugs have worked and easier than therapy. The patients have spoken and are no longer patient. They want the medication b

Psychologists are those who distance themselves through theory,teaching, writing, lecturing etc about human behaviours,thoughts and emotions, whereas Psychiatrists are a Medical extension of the classic Therapist/Counsellor and immese themselves more into the client's world and frame of reference or "Get their Hands Dirty" so to speak.

@MsAdam63 They were probably just testing your IQ to see if it was effecting your learning at all. IQ would have proved nothing, its just a behavior and social problem... people with ADHD can be brilliant, or really stupid, makes no difference.

@1234Punkdrummer It's useless as philosophy.Teaching psychology and philosophy is like teaching life.Yes, it might be interesting, but as a profession it is completly null.In conclusion - my father can be a psychologist, as he has had a lot of life experience, so what's the point in studying it?

For example physicsnthe most mathematic there for the most empirical of sciences may have to be rewritten look it up as to why, the world needs psychologists we put everything in to perspective to see things others cannot
