    medical practitioner who focuses on the diagnosis
    and treatment of mental disorders.

    psychotherapy to manage mental disorders such as
    bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and major
    depression.

    other hand, does not adhere to the medical model
    of psychiatry.

    provide highly specialized treatment for people
    in need of mental health care.

    into counseling psychology and clinical psychology

  • Both of these counseling professional careers
    overlap in many areas such as work environment,
    but generally speaking, clinical
    psychologists work with individuals that are more
    impaired.

    approach to the mental health field, focusing on
    a more developmental perspective.
