Psychologists are professionals who focus on patients’ mental and emotional health. Unlike psychiatrists, psychologists are not typically physicians, but they usually hold a Ph.D. or other advanced academic degree. Patients may see a psychologist for a variety of issues, such as eating disorders, anxiety, depression or poor impulse control. Treatment options can include counseling or psychotherapy, although psychologists cannot prescribe medication. There are two branches of psychology: applied psychology, which refers to clinical practitioners who deal with patients; and research psychology, which involves the scholarly study and/or teaching about the human mind (such as cognition and behavior).
