Psychology is the scientific study of human behaviour and mental processes, focusing on understanding thoughts, emotions, and behaviour through research and observation. Psychologists typically provide counselling, therapy, and assessments, aiming to enhance mental well-being. On the other hand, psychiatry is a medical specialty that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of mental disorders. Psychiatrists are medical doctors who can prescribe medication and employ a combination of therapy and medication management to address mental health conditions.
