Answer 1

Psychiatry is the &#039;medical doctor&#039; who believes that there is a &#039;physical cause&#039; for all &#039;mental illnesses&#039; and they are the ones who &#039;prescribe meds&#039; to fix most problems.  Psychotherapy is generally done by a psychiatrist, in addition to the medication, for people who have things like schizophrenia, bipolar syndrome, or other.  Psychology is a non-medical (and not prescribing medications) view of psychiatry ... the &#039;counselor&#039; who is a psychologist can work completely separately or under a psychiatrist, but they can also give &#039;psychotherapy&#039; or simple &#039;therapy&#039; (which can last from 6 weeks to two years) ... a sociologist is only associated with the psychological/psychiatric fields because many of those in need of a &#039;social worker&#039; also need psychological counseling.  The Social Worker is more into helping a person to find good housing, good food, learning how to budget properly, or how to &#039;get off drugs/alcohol&#039; and have a &#039;good life&#039; ... they also do some counseling, and a few are good at that ... but I am a retired psychologist, and I actually think the world would be much better off if there were NO &#039;social workers&#039; giving &#039;therapy&#039; and they did just a good job of &#039;helping make connections in the real world&#039; ...
