What do Psychologists do?
Psychologists seek to help people function better. Psychologists specialise in the study of normal and abnormal human behaviour & emotions. This includes memory, learning, human development and the way people feel and react. Psychologists can treat a wide range of psychological concerns affecting individuals and families, however unlike psychiatrists (who are medical practitioners), psychologists in Australia do not prescribe medication to treat mental illness.
