That's right, you see a psychiatrist will talk with you and help you work these issues out out and he will use a medication to help on that front, while a therapist doesn't prescribe medicine, it is all purely verbal. But if a therapist thinks you do need medication then he will refer your entire case to a psychiatrist. Often though the two professions works together on the same case. But I would advice you to first see a therapist first. If you do need medication then they will refer you to the proper psychiatrist. Not all psychiatrist are able to help with everything. It's like a medical doctor profession, you get some that specialize in the skin area, some in the bowls area, some in other areas. This is why I say go to a therapist first. He will make a diagnosis and refer you to the proper one more skilled in the area of mental illness that you might have. Good luck
