Psychiatrists are doctors who graduate from medical school, they have a year of medical internship, and have 3 years of residency in the assessment and treatment of mental health disorders.
Psychologists have a doctoral degree in an area of psychology, the study of the mind and human behavior. They are not medical doctors. A psychologist can have a PhD in philosophy or a PsyD in clinical or counseling psychology. They do 1-2 years of internship. Unlike psychiatrists, psychologists are also trained in giving psychological tests such as IQ tests or personality tests. Psychiatrists can prescribe medication but psychologist can't.

Hi,
Over the time, Psychology has come up as a popular career choice among the students. Career options like teaching, psychologist, counselor, etc. is another reason for why people are becoming more inclined towards this field of education. The science of human behavior emerged in Germany and during the World War psychology traveled to United States and emerged in India approx. 70 years ago. Since then our Indian psychologists have worked really hard to recognize psychology as a separate discipline.

Psychology is a study of behavior, mind, work, conscious and non-conscious thoughts of the people. And politics is the study in which students are trained so that they can take a decision with other's help.
Politics has a better scope as compared to psychology as there is less use of a person who observes instead of the one who guides them. Right now in the country, there are many politicians who are not eligible for this. But when a proper training and education are given to them, everything works fine. For this, there is a separate subject that is political science in which one can learn about analysis of the political system, theoretical and practical application of politics.
There is also a great scope in future. One can get into civil services after graduating from this or one can become a guide or speechwriter for any political party or become a political leader and an educated well-trained person can really do something great in this field.
