Right, a Psychologist is not a doctor. A Psychiatrist is an MD who specializes in Psychiatry. He can prescibe medications.

Psychology is a scientific study of a human mind. While psychiatrist is a medical practitioner specializing in the diagnosis and treatment of mental illness.

You are getting better now than before. That can be judged from the way you talk. You should always remember that you have your family who love you and support you unconditionally. To step back one thousand steps, you have everything to lose but not the love from your family.

so the marriage family therapist is considered Psychologist???

Yeah getting better now...my family is my motivation especially my 6yr old lil brother...

thanks so much for you response...Bless you heart dear

The marriage counsellor could be a psychologist or even "just" a counselor, or in rare circumstances, a psychiatrist. Ask what their qualifications are if unsure.

A counselor can be a psychiatrist or psychologist or a minister or a social worker or someone with similar credentials and training. It is generally someone who has received training in how to listen and identify/ understand problems the other person is experiencing. There are different types of counselors with different abilities to help. One counselor can also refer you to another counselor who has more skills or specific training that may be more appropriate to your needs. The woman conducting the class at the Woman's center may or may not be a counselor. She may be a teacher instead or just someone who is very well informed and compassionate.
