A therapist is typically someone who specializes in helping people with emotional, psychological, or relationship issues. They may have a master’s degree or doctorate in psychology or counseling. A psychiatrist is someone who has completed medical school and then received specialized training to become a physician that specializes in treating mental health conditions. Psychiatrists can prescribe medication and provide more intensive treatment for mental health conditions such as depression and anxiety.
