Be My Friend - http://www.myspace.com/psychtr... John Breeding, Ph.D. psychologist discusses the difference between psychiatry and psychology. Psychiatry focuses on medical or physical interventions such as drugs, electroshock therapy, deep brain stimulation by electrode, psychosurgery, etc. This is the model of biological psychiatry. Behavior problems are considered to be actual medical illnesses with physical causes despite the fact that after over 100 years of attempts to identify a physical cause for mental illness, there are still none. Often time people are given antidepressants like Prozac, Zoloft, Paxil, Luvox, Celexa, Lexapro, Effexor or Wellbutrin. SSRI (Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors) are often promoted as correcting chemical imbalances in the brain but there is no proof that depression or mental illness is caused by chemical imbalances in the brain nor is there any proof that antidepressants correct an imbalance. These medications often time have horrible side effects like agitation and sexual dysfunction. Psychology by contrast acknowledges the potential of behavior problems being learned responses which can be corrected with therapy and communication, education and understanding. There are no cures in psychiatry. Psychiatric medications only suppress or inhibit symptoms of behavior problems. This creates long term mental health consumers who take expensive drugs but never fully recover from their difficulties.

Yes and no, but to be fair, psychiatry does aim to correct problems which patients themselves complain about. Say for instance one complains that things feel to fast, that they feel overwhelmed- here's a med that might help calm you down. No real harm in that, is there? Both psychology and psychiatry correctly realize that we don't fully understand the brain and all its functions, but both aim to help where they can while trying to learn more.

Great video - very informative. I'm sure it'll inspire many aspiring psychologists and perhaps even psychiatrists.

I think you'll agree with me when I say that psychiatry is an attempt to classify certain behaviors that we simply cannot understand yet, whereas psychology says "We may not fully understand the mechanics of the brain, but we know how to solve many of the problems you may be experiencing."

Yes you can.

Hey, this was a great video, very informative. I would like to know, I am currently in the UK and will be starting my undergraduate degree in psychology next year (in the UK), but I wish to work in the US when I qualify, would it be better for me to move to the US and qualify there?ThanksSouki
