Despite being closely related, psychiatry and psychology are not the same thing. Psychiatry is a branch of medicine, and psychiatrists are physicians who can prescribe medication. Psychology is the study of the human mind and behavior. Psychologists who work as psychotherapists typically use talk therapy in their work with patients.

Generally, psychiatrists can also work as psychotherapists. They also use other treatment options, such as medication. In many cases, patients will see both a psychiatrist and a psychotherapist.

The most effective way to succeed in your psychiatry class is to combine different learning modalities:

First, deep-dive into the topics with video lessons hosted by competent educators followed by Lecturio’s comprehensive Concept Pages. Next, apply what you’ve learned in practical situations by answering clinical case questions in the Qbank.

Lastly, make sure you retain information long-term by regularly reviewing your knowledge with Spaced-Repetition quizzes.
