Psychiatry is a word. It comes from a combination of two old words - 'psyche' - meaning mind (or soul) and 'iatry' - meaning healing or cure.
Psychiatry is also a branch of medicine that deals with diagnosing and treating people with mental illnesses.
I think it's like, if you anger issues, you take psyiatry. The person who you see is a Psyciatrist.
Forensic Psychiatry
Forensic science involves the collection and analysis of physical evidence to solve crimes, while forensic psychology focuses on understanding the behavior and motivations of individuals involved in criminal activities. Forensic scientists typically work in labs, while forensic psychologists often provide expert testimony in legal proceedings.
I've never heard of "legal psychology" as a specialized study. "Forensic" actually means "pertaining to the law/courts". Within forensic psychology, there are many different roles one can play such as performing psychological assessments for courts, psych interventions for criminal offenders, or as a consultant in legal matters (trial consultant, jury selection, etc.).
Behaviour Analysis is a scientific approach to understanding why people and animals do what they do. It will teach you about how both animal and human behaviour is affected by events in the social and physical environment and what you can do to help produce behaviour change to help improve lives.Clinical psychology is the application of abnormal psychology research to the understanding, treatment, and assessment of psychopathology, including behavioral and mental health issues.Community psychology emphasises the application of Psychological and Social Science knowledge to promoting justice and equity, improving the quality of community life, enhancing health and wellbeing, and preventing psychological or 'life-style' problems.Organisational psychology is the scientific study of the behaviour and attitudes of people at work. It looks at issues such as recruitment; selection and training; job satisfaction and stress at work.Physiological psychology is the branch of psychology that studies how physiological processes of the nervous system interact with behaviour (e.g., how drugs affect behaviour).The Psychology of Cognition and Perception studies internal mental processes (e.g., memory and language) and how the brain interprets and organises sensations (e.g., vision and hearing).Social psychology studies the interactions between individuals and groups, as well as the effects of groups on the attitudes, opinions, and behaviour of individuals. The field covers such topics as persuasion, conformity, obedience to authority, stereotyping, prejudice, and decision making in social contexts.It is difficult to define psychology as it is such a wide area of study and differs in content from field to field.
How many hours per week a forensic psychology works varies. The average is between 20 and 40 hours perk week.

Psychiatry is a medical specialty that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of mental, emotional, and behavioral disorders. Psychiatrists are medical doctors who specialize in psychiatry and are trained to assess and treat individuals with mental health conditions. Psychiatrists can further specialize in specific areas within the field of psychiatry. Some examples of subspecialties include child and adolescent psychiatry, geriatric psychiatry, addiction psychiatry, forensic psychiatry, and neuropsychiatry. These subspecialties require additional training and expertise to address the specific mental health needs of particular populations or conditions. Collaborative care between psychiatrists and other mental health professionals is often recommended for comprehensive treatment.
