Psychologist, psychiatrist or psychotherapist?

* The psychiatrist is a medical specialist (8 years of study 3 years of specialization). It is the only psychiatrist who can prescribe medication. His consultations are reimbursed by Social Security. He is the best partner for depression or behavioral disorder. With drugs, it relieves pain immediately, with the words it treats long term;

* A psychologist has a Masters in Clinical Psychology (Bin 5). Its services are free in public facilities. His work is adapted to periods of "turbulence" at which we need to be routed;

* The therapist is trained in psychotherapy, not a diploma. This profession is largely unregulated and the choice of the speaker should prompt greater vigilance. However, a psychotherapist may be also a psychologist or psychiatrist.
