Psychology has been defined in different ways. Some people have defined psychology as an art. Other people have defined psychology as a science. Many text books define psychology as the science of mind and behavior. Psychology involves the study of human nature and/or behavior. Different opinions come from different perspectives.

A practitioner who studies the human mind and human emotions and behaviour, and how different situations have an effect on people is known as Psychologist.

Psychiatry is a medical attention which is meant for treatment, study, and diagnosis, prevention of mental disorders. It includes the various behavioural, affective, and cognitive and perceptual abnormalities. Psychiatry treats mental disorders, which are conventionally divided into three very general categories: mental illnesses, severe learning disabilities, and personality disorders.

A psychiatrist is a medical doctor who specializes in mental health, including substance use disorders. Psychiatrists are qualified to assess both the mental and physical aspects of psychological disorders.
