If depressed do you see a psychologist or psychiatrist?
It depends on the treatment that you would like to receive. The psychological approach uses more therapy and suggestive treatments in combination with medicine then a Psychiatrist. A Psychiatrist is more of a trained Doctor whose studies closely relate to a Psychologist. In truth, they are both alike, but differ as the psychiatrist will take the more clinical approach when diagnosing and you may be then treated with a preferred drug regimen. Psychologist take a more practical approach by combining medication along with predetermined psychotherapies in order to give a more well-rounded treatment plan. The choice is yours when it comes to picking your physician. Also, researching your physician and caregivers gives you more valid insight before stepping in to an unknown situation. Please take care on your way to wellness. Thank you.

Do MSW medical and psychiatry become psychologist?
I'm not sure I understand the question. An MSW is a master's degree in social work, or in some cases referred to as social welfare. A psychiatrist is a physician (MD) with a specialty in psychiatry. A psychologist can have a master's, however most all practicing psychologists have a doctorate and are licensed. It is possible for an MSW to continue their education and pursue a doctorate in psychology. However, it would make little sense for a psychiatrist to become a psychologist.
