Hi always loved your videos but never found a chance to comment until now. Psychiatrists studied medicine and because of that that they focus on mental disorders and can prescribe medicine and perform physiological exams. Psychologist did not study medicine and are not "doctors" per day. They focus on addressing problems that psychiatrists don't such as social problems and other feeling related issues. They both are valuable! (I've more experience with psychologist than with psychiatrists and had an introductory class to psychology in high school)
Psychologists don't just counsel; psychology is the science of behaviour and the mind etc, most psychologists do research, rather than having patients at all. Psychiatry is a medical discipline specifically for mental disorders, and psychiatrists don't just treat them by prescribing medicine. One way to think of it is that psychologists are to psychiatrists as biologists are to medical doctors - not 100% accurate but close enough.
It's been twenty years and time to read again.
We were required to read that book in high school for AP English. I think I still have my copy with annotations.
Will read.

I've read the book. It's good.
Psychiatrists can prescribe medicine
Psychologists counsel
this has exceptions but that’s the difference
Both have academic and clinical sides
