A psychiatrist's case files would generally be considered a primary source, particular in they had important patients.\nOr if the psychiatrist was important in their own right, say Sigmund Freud, his files would be considered primary.\n\nOne of the best ways to judge whether a source is primary or secondary is to ask: Was it contemporaneous? Did it happen at the same time as the event you are studying, or is it an explanation written afterwards. Caveat: newspaper accounts would often be considered primary sources.

To work as a psychologist in these settings, you typically will need a Ph.D. in psychology--not in another field such as education or social work.

No.  Mental health professionals work with personality disorders and mental illness.  While psychiatrists are physicians as well as mental helath professionals (which allows them to prescribe medication) they do not and cannot heal mental retardation or paralysis.  Other therapists like LCSW's are not physicians and primarily treat a range of people, but not generally physical symptoms.  They see people who are grieving, people who are troubled, and the mentally ill.\n\nThere are psychosomatic sympotms like paralysis, where when there are no physical reasons for the paralysis, a mental health professional might be of assistance.

Phaedra is correct.  All your other respondents are wrong.  \n\nThere's no such thing as a Psychiatry degree for an undergraduate.  Psychiatry is a specialty pursued AFTER you get your M.D. in med school, which is AFTER your B.S. degree in college.  Med school typically takes three years and a psychiatry residency typically takes seven or eight years, the longest of all the medical specialties.\n\nIf, by some chance, you actually meant Psychologist and not Psychiatrist, then I've never heard of a college that did NOT offer that degree.  However, most states require that you have at least a Master's degree in it before you are allowed to hang out your shingle and call yourself a Psychologist.

Very very slim chances. Since you are a Guardsman, you can only be branched for slots that are available in your state and currently there are no Psychiatrist slots in any state or territory (which is what you would want - Psychologist is not part of the officer medical corps). The active army has darn few of those. Looks like you are going to QM OBC at Ft. Lee, VA - enjoy.

There's currently a pharmacist shortage in the US. Starting salaries around 90,000 dollars per year. Dentists are always in need too. You can open your own pharmacy in the US but most pharmacist work for someone else, as the industry is dominated by chain pharmacies. Pharmacists also work in hospitals, clinics, etc.

I would search for a psychiatric nurse practitioner; they can prescribe medication and are frequently as good as seeing a normal therapist, in addition to being much cheaper.

To be a psychiatrist you have to go to a Masters program.  If you get your Ph.D then you can prescribe medications to your patients.  A lot more money involved!\n\nTo be a psychologist you can be a counselor, but cannot prescribe medications.  \n\nI'm getting my B.S. in psychology, and I'll be able to be a social worker.  If you take criminal justice courses also, I think you can be a probation officer.

Get a second opinion, and not from a neurologist at the same hospital.  If the second neurologist confirms, you might want to get a psychiatrist's opinion as well - not suggesting mental illness, they just specialize in different aspects of brain functioning and should be willing to work with the neurologist.  The psych would also be the best resource if depression and anxiety are setting in.  You'll definitely want someone quite knowledgeable about drug interactions.

psychiatrist is a doctor and can give medicine\na psychologist is a counselor and can only talk to you

um, there isn't one.  this would be a debatable point within the medical community, and typically "experts" are good at a certain part of there field.  If you are looking for an expert you usually ask a lot of doctors and look at papers they've published, oh and there credentials (where they got there degrees).  Most people don't "need" an expert unless they have a very serious illness.  \n\nhaha- like Grey's anatomy, eh?
