Can you tell me what the difference is between a hypnotist and a psychiatrist?

A hypnosis session is typically shorter than a psychiatric session, with the goal of helping the patient to relax and focus on positive thoughts. Hypnosis sessions can also involve guided imagery or other techniques that may help the patient achieve their goals more quickly. Psychiatric sessions are longer in duration and aim to address underlying causes of mental health issues. Therapists use a combination of talk therapy, medication management, and lifestyle changes to help patients improve their overall wellbeing.
