Shrink is a slang term for a psychotherapist that derives from the idea that through therapy, a person can "shrink" their emotional or psychological issues. While some may use this term disparagingly, others may use it as a lighthearted or colloquial way to refer to their therapist. Ultimately, the term shrink is used to denote someone who provides mental health support and counseling services.
The term "shrink" is thought to originate from the phrase "head-shrinker," which was used colloquially to describe mental health professionals like psychiatrists and psychologists. Over time, "shrink" became a slang term for therapists in general, but it's important to note that the term is informal and not typically used in professional settings.

A "shrink" is the usual slang name of a psychiatrist. A psychiatrist is a medical doctor who has gone on to specialise in psychiatry. His/her methods of treatment include prescribing medication, doing electric shock treatment and ordering tests such as brain scans, and referring patients to "therapists". A "therapist" has a degree, but not a medical one. They usually specialise in "talking" cures. They may be psychologists, art therapists, occupational therapists, music therapists, community psychiatric nurses, psychiatric social workers, cognitive behavioral therapists, counsellors and more. These are the "mainstream" people, but recently New Age therapists have come onto the scene, and they may prescribe flower remedies, craniosacral therapy, remedial massage and aromatherapy. But the basic difference is that a shrink will prescribe medicine and medical treatments and a therapist will use various ways of helping the patient to talk and express themselves and find their own solutions.
