Who are psychologists and psychiatrists?

Psychologists are mental health professionals, trained in the field of psychology who help their patients by providing them with healthy ways of dealing with the issues of their life.

They can also help people who are living with chronic mental health conditions like depression and anxiety. They also help people who are going through a tough time, either personally or professionally.

The practice of psychologists is called counseling or psychotherapy where they listen to the issues of the patient, diagnose their problem, and suggest a plan of treatment.
