We (or i) need clarification. It can either mean psychiatric doctor or primary doctor.
I'm guessing primary?
I also made this a full thread to explain some basic differences: A psychologist holds a doctoral degree in psychology. That can either be a Ph.D. or Psy.D. but he is not a doctor of
medicine. He cannot prescribe medications.
The only true psychiatrist is a HIGHLY schooled (takes many, many years believe me) doctor of psychiatry.
Social workers, mental health counselors, psyhotherapists, can all be just about anything, though usually two-year degreed and up, and call themselves an "expert."
So there's my contribution LOL now what is it ppl mean when they say pdoc.
Thanks!
