[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Psychologist have drastically lower salaries compared to psychiatrists but they have less work load, easier cases and no or limited access to meds. They also spend less time in college and training and admission or fold isn’t a competitive one so less stress and less student debt. [/quote]

Not true AT ALL that psychologists have less work load, easier cases, spend less time in college, and that admission is less competitive. Admissions into Clinical Psychology PhD programs is among the most competitive of any doctoral programs possible.  By the time you have your PhD, you likely will have spent about 9-10 years or more in higher education (4 years undergrad, plus 5-6+ years of graduate school getting the MA and PhD).

Clinical psychology can be an incredibly demanding, draining field, and psychologists work with all ranges of patients, including the very same types of patients that psychiatrists work with.

The only thing the PP stated that CAN be true is that psychologists often have less student debt, as many PhD programs are funded via grants.

I have noticed many therapists in the DMV who go by doctor of psychology have a psy.d from an online college....now a real phd from a good psychology program is something else. [/quote]

There are no online psychology pHd programs. I'm finishing my MA for Psychology online (though U Mass), it is very common now with Covid. But there are no pHd programs, because it is antithetical to the nature of pHd work. [/quote]
