Psychiatrists are medical doctors who can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and sometimes provide talk therapy. Therapists focus on talk therapy and may hold titles such as licensed clinical social worker, licensed professional counselor, or marriage and family therapist. Other provider types — such as psychiatric nurse practitioners, MDs, and DOs — can also prescribe and manage medication.
