Psychiatry diagnoses and treats mental health conditions — depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia and sleep disorders — through a combination of medication and therapy. Psychiatrists are medical doctors who can prescribe medication, often working alongside psychologists who provide talk therapy.
Clinical psychology and counseling treat emotional and behavioural difficulties through talk therapy — anxiety, stress, relationship issues, and adjustment difficulties — without prescribing medication. Sessions are usually structured as a recurring program (weekly or fortnightly) building toward specific goals.
Addiction medicine treats substance use disorders — alcohol and drug dependence — through medically supervised detoxification, medication and structured counseling programs. Because relapse risk is real, treatment centres on long-term, structured follow-up rather than a single course of treatment.
