What is the difference between a psychiatrist and psychologist?
This question is commonly asked. Psychiatrists are qualified medical doctors who have pursued further training in mental illness. They specialise in
the assessment and diagnosis of mental disorders and can prescribe medications.
Psychologists in clinical practice usually have trained for 6-8 years and have a
masters or doctorate in psychology with an arts or science background.
They are trained in assessment and providing therapy and do not prescribe medications.
Is stress bad for me?
This will depend on how much stress we are talking about.
Some stress is good for us.
It motivates us to achieve and perform at an optimal level.
Too little stress and we feel understimulated and can become bored and frustrated.
However, if we are experiencing a high level of stress for long periods of time
our performance deteriorates and this can have a detrimental effect on our
emotional and physical well-being.
