I am a psychological counselor who is engaged in psychology and mental health services. I am a consultant on mental health education for college students. "What's the difference between psychopsychology and psychological counseling?" I use my psychological counseling experience to answer your question.
From the perspective of psychological counselors, there are three differences between psychiatry and psychological counseling.
First of all, psychiatry and psychological counseling have different working objects.
The working objects of psychiatry are basically people with abnormal psychology, that is, the so-called mental patients. They are all people with abnormal psychological activities, who have lost their normal psychological activities and their social functions have been seriously damaged. They have mental disorders, such as fine cognitive disorder, emotional disorder and behavioral disorder. For example, schizophrenics have mental disorders such as hallucinations, delusions and apathy.
The clients of psychological counseling are all mentally normal people, and they all have some psychological problems to solve. There are three main types of clients, one is people with normal psychology but mental problems, the other is people with normal psychology but mental health problems, and the third is special clients, that is, mental patients cured by psychiatric department.
Secondly, the working mechanism of psychiatric department and psychological counseling department is different.
Psychiatry mainly treats patients through medical mode, and adopts biological examination and drug treatment to carry out its work; It can be said that all patients diagnosed as patients by psychiatry must receive medication, and some serious patients must be hospitalized.
Psychological counseling department mainly uses psychological mode to help visitors, whether it is individual psychological counseling, group psychological counseling or group counseling, mainly through conversation and sometimes with the help of games. Painting and other ways work, but they don't use drugs, which is also the most remarkable feature that distinguishes psychological counseling from psychiatry.
Thirdly, the relationship between psychiatric department and psychological counseling department and the working object is different.
Psychiatrists and patients have unequal treatment relationship, and doctors are in the dominant position. Sometimes some mental patients, such as schizophrenia and mania, need to take compulsory treatment.
However, in psychological counseling, the relationship between counselors and visitors is voluntary, equal and negotiated, which is the biggest difference between psychological counseling and psychiatry. Psychological counseling is not forcing people to do psychological counseling. People have psychological problems and need them to take the initiative to seek help from psychological counselors, so psychological counseling can happen.
I hope my answer is helpful to you. If you have different opinions, please leave a message in the comments section, and we can continue our discussion and share our views.
Thanks again for the invitation!
Psychiatry is for medication.
Psychological counseling is talk therapy.
(a) the ideal state is this:
1. Psychiatrists usually have a medical background and will study psychiatry when choosing a major at the postgraduate level. So they mainly do the diagnosis of mental illness, prescription right and drug treatment.
2. Psychological counselors generally have psychological background. After academic training, choose psychological counseling (different schools) technical training. Do a heart-to-heart consultation.
Both need long-term, systematic and professional training. Can't replace each other.
(2) How to choose: Generally, it depends on the customer's situation.
1 Severe mental illness:
When you are mentally ill, your social function is lost, so you must receive psychotropic drugs. Psychological counseling is invalid.
Assist psychological counseling when social function is restored in the later stage of treatment. The recurrence rate of drug treatment for mental illness is high, and psychological counseling can reduce the recurrence rate.
2. General psychological barriers/growth problems:
Ask a counselor for help. (General psychological counselors will also evaluate the status of visitors and suggest whether they need to go to the hospital).
(3) Process:
Go to the psychiatric clinic for diagnosis first.
Follow the doctor's advice.
Cooperate with psychological counseling when appropriate.
Personal opinion:
1 In fact, the cost setting of psychological counseling is of therapeutic significance. The cheaper it is, the better for tourists.
2 find a psychological counselor who suits you. This is the most important thing.
3 follow the doctor's advice.
Psychiatrists and counselors have been fighting for many years, and no one has defeated anyone, because both are very important.
The truth of all the so-called mental diseases such as depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, mania and bipolar disorder.
Psychological problems are a very serious social phenomenon at present, especially among children, which makes people feel sad. How many people are in despair, how many families are on the verge of collapse, and most people are still in the dark and don't know the truth and the way out. That's terrible!
What I want to tell you is that all the so-called psychological problems, no matter what type, no matter how serious, no matter how complicated the symptoms are, actually do not exist at all. Why are these so-called mental diseases so difficult to cure? Because we have been solving a non-existent problem, how to solve it? The result will only cause more and more serious problems. Obviously, all negative emotions are normal emotions that everyone has, just like breathing. If you have to solve it, you can only solve your life, which is why many people finally choose to go to a dead end. Most people will let go of negative emotions quickly, but we can't. We must solve it, even if the larger foe breaks through, the result will be more and more serious. As we all know, there is no need to solve the problem unless it is solved. No matter how hard life is, there is nothing to let go of. When you leave this world, you can't take anything away.
Life is a drama, so why be so serious and bother yourself.
In fact, there are many people worse off than you in reality. Most people don't take it seriously or answer it. We not only pick it up, but also don't want to put it down. As long as you put it down, there will be no pain. If we can't let go, there's nothing anyone can do. But there is a way to suffer. If you wait enough, you will naturally let go, and your words are not rough.
I want to tell you that it is a very wrong choice to choose to end your life. Ending life is not the end of pain, but just the beginning of another endless pain. Life will never end, and every life has its meaning.
Anyway, what is the essence and truth of these so-called psychological problems? Knowing this, all the so-called psychological problems will be solved. Because it doesn't actually exist, of course, there is nothing to solve.
Some people say, how can it not exist? The problems we face in reality are as real as the pain we bear in our hearts. We just can't sleep, our symptoms and diseases are real, I just can't see any hope of life, and so on. These pains obviously exist. Isn't it self-deception to say that it doesn't exist?
Yes, everything is so real to you. What I want to say is that these so-called real situations are only results, not causes, but also superficial phenomena, not essence. They are not static. To solve these so-called psychological problems, we must start from the root causes. Whether through psychological counseling or drug therapy, everyone is using phenomena to solve phenomena and problems to solve problems. Instead of solving the problem, it will continue to worsen.
All psychological problems, no matter what kind of negative emotions, will be manifested as uncontrollable thoughts, constant thinking, unable to eat, unable to sleep, physical and mental fatigue. They just want to understand that the more they think about it, the more uncontrollable the vicious circle will be until it collapses. This is because in this process, our energy will gradually run out and we will lose the ability to control our own thinking more and more. In the end, even our own lives will be given up, which is an illusion of low energy state. In that energy state, even a sesame seed will become a mountain and crush itself.
In this case, only by increasing energy can it be changed. This energy is not only eating and resting, but more importantly, it is to stop the erosion of negative energy (negative thinking) and constantly improve positive energy. To break the vicious circle, stop thinking (you will never think about it, and you will never think about the result) and turn to positive thinking to save energy. With positive energy, you can control your own thinking and everything in your life. With positive energy, the problem that bothered you in the past has changed from watermelon to sesame.
So how do you stop thinking? We just can't help thinking! In fact, we can't control our thoughts because negative energy (all negative emotions) is so powerful that we are controlled by negative energy. Because people with different negative energy express different negative emotions, physical symptoms are even more strange, and there are all kinds of so-called psychological problems, which are actually the same in essence.
As long as the essence is grasped, all the so-called psychological problems naturally do not exist and do not need to be solved at all, because there is nothing to solve. No matter what your situation is, no matter how serious it is, no matter how real and difficult the real problem is, no matter how serious your health is, even if you are terminally ill, there is only one root cause and one solution. Find the root cause, all the problems in life are soap bubbles.
What is the root cause? The fundamental reason lies in the wrong three views and the wrong pursuit of value. At present, it can be said that 99% people in the world are pursuing the wrong things. Pursue material things, all kinds of desires, pornography, unfilial, do not cherish life, only know to take but do not know the meaning of life is to give rather than take, and have pressure (have to pursue a specific goal or requirement). Because of these wrong views, every thought, every word and every action in our hearts are directed at desires and needs. There must be a desire behind every negative emotion. There are also many parents who impose these misconceptions on their children, blaming others for hurting their children and blaming themselves. All our desires and negative emotions are negative energy, which will be constantly entangled and amplified. In the end, positive energy will be less and less, and even we will be proud of negative energy and ashamed of positive energy. Isn't this a common phenomenon in modern society? Why do most people live in pain? This is the general source. Everyone's performance is different, some are physically ill, some are mentally ill, some encounter setbacks or disasters, and so on.
When we get the so-called mental illness, we begin to blame others, think that we are unlucky and think that heaven is unfair. In fact, God is the fairest. Every mistake you make, you have to bear it yourself. And everyone is choosing to avoid responsibility, but how can they escape? Some people want to talk to a psychological counselor, but actually talking is releasing negative energy, which will not only solve the problem, but also attract more negative energy. Some people hope to solve it through drugs. It's obviously a matter of heart. How to solve the drug? Isn't that ridiculous? Others want someone to help them. How does the other person in your heart make it work? How can others understand your whimsy under negative emotions?
You live in a dream and only wake up. Who can interpret dreams? Wake up. What's the problem?
To solve this problem, you must first understand where you are wrong and that no one is punishing you. It's all your own fault. The universe is the fairest. If you are still happy when you are wrong, it is really unreasonable. In fact, it's nobody's fault outside, it's all your own fault. Don't complain, just reflect on yourself. The theory of family origin simply doesn't exist. Are harmful. You decide your own destiny, so don't give yourself any reasons or excuses. Don't think that it is caused by all practical problems such as family environment, others bullying you, interpersonal tension, lack of money, stress, physical illness and so on. Wrong, these problems are also phenomena, the result of three wrong views, and the result of the same root as your psychological problems are all appearances and have the same root of mistakes. Even if these problems are solved, your psychological problems still exist and there will be bigger problems to remind you.
Every pain reminds you that you are wrong and makes you turn around quickly. Once you look back, pain loses its value of existence. The sea of misery is boundless, and turning back is the shore. As long as you don't look back, the pain will follow you. Behind every pain, there is a persistence and a desire. Only let go of persistence and desire. The past is the past, and everything is of my own making. No one has hurt you, and no one can hurt you. Accept what you are facing. This is the result of what you have done in the past and cannot be changed. What we can do now is to recognize our mistakes and correct them. From now on, keep positive thoughts, words and behaviors, stop spreading and releasing negative energy, including at home and on the Internet, starting from the side, starting from small things, starting from housework, helping others, dedicating yourself, letting go of selfishness, desire, material desire, honoring parents, cherishing all life and fearing nature. These are the true meaning of life, returning to humanity. Where can there be psychological problems? Where are the life problems to be solved? Where does it hurt? What's unfair?
Also, parents with children's problems, please let their children go, let them go, don't care too much, give them a correct outlook on life education, give them freedom, and don't give them too much pressure. Internet generation, less contact with video games, pornographic websites and other addictive things, stop killing children with drugs! ! !
Finally, I can tell you that I used to be a so-called serious mental patient for more than twenty years, no matter how desperate and helpless I was. Now, I have been born again. I hope to share my experience gained with blood and tears with you, and I hope to help more people who are still trapped in the bottomless abyss of pain come out. I hope to save more families and children on the verge of collapse.
Thinking that you have so-called psychological problems and trying to solve them are the real reasons and the beginning of all the pain. With the process of solving, the pain is getting bigger and bigger. This is the fundamental difference between normal people and so-called mental patients. All real problems in life are the same, and not solving them is the best solution. Do nothing. Do nothing. Most people have done it backwards, so it's miserable.
Many people say they can't let go. Nothing can't be let go. People have to put it down when they die. No one can take it away. If you don't put it down, you will continue to suffer on your back. There is no choice, and no one can help you put it down. The only way to let go is to accept, accept what others and yourself have experienced, and accept everything that may happen!
Friends with feelings, I hope everyone will forward more. Helping others is helping yourself.
It is really sad and regrettable to see so many people complaining, complaining, asking for help, committing suicide, collapsing, suffering, entertaining themselves and listening but not listening every day. Is there no savior in the world useful? Some people say that I discriminate against mental patients, which is ridiculous. I used to be a senior psychopath. What can I discriminate against? Some people say that my speech is too ugly. But is it useful to say nice things? The counselor's words are good. Can you solve the problem? The suggestion is terrible, but nobody likes it. Is it doting love? Some people can't wake up no matter how hard they try. Can you say something nice? Others said with a righteous face that I brainwashed everyone under the banner of guardian. In fact, my brain has been unconsciously washed into something. I'm telling you, I'm declaring war on the traditional theory of psychological harm. I just want to make those so-called psychologists and doctors unemployed. I just want to make all the people who suffer happy. Unwilling to do so, these people immediately jumped out and began to criticize, fearing that people with so-called mental illness could see hope, and one less person was deeply afraid of mental illness. Kill the hope of the mentally ill in the name of protecting them. I've been cheated and I don't know yet I also count money for swindlers and sincerely safeguard their interests. If you want to relieve the pain, you have to pave the way and stop believing in those tall and harmful theories and hypocritical liars. And don't pin it on drugs. Psychological problems are problems of thinking mode and three views. Isn't taking medicine to solve them a slippery experience? Obviously it is my own problem, but I blame it on some so-called difficulties, setbacks, environment and family. Can this thinking solve the problem? If you feel the benefits, please give generously and forward more to save more families and children. Helping others is actually helping yourself. Why do most people suffer? They can't get it because they ask for it. If you want it, you must give it. This is the law of the universe. The so-called lover loves to love, but it is not doting. Those who go with the sky prosper, and those who go against the sky die. Going against the sky will only bring pain
To let go is to let go of yourself and pretend to be someone else; Let go, not from the secular, but for heaven.
There are many people worse off than you, but others didn't take it seriously and didn't answer. Not only did you pick it up, but you didn't want to put it down. You said you couldn't let go, and I couldn't help it. But there is a way to suffer. When the pain is enough, just let it go.
Whatever you have experienced or are experiencing, let it go. If you don't let go, there will be pain!
Every day, I see so many people complaining, complaining, asking for help, all kinds of suicides, collapses and pains on the Internet. I really want to convince everyone. In fact, there is no savior in this world, and I am the savior.
Some people choose to end their lives, which is a very wrong choice. In fact, ending life is not the end of pain, but just the beginning of another endless pain.
Negative emotions are normal emotions that everyone has, just like breathing. If you want to solve it, unless you solve your life, that's why some people choose to walk into a dead end. This idea is wrong in itself. There are many people in reality who are worse off than you. Most people don't take it seriously or answer it. We not only pick it up, but also don't want to put it down. Let go and there will be no pain. Can't let go, no one can do anything. But there is a way to suffer. When the pain is enough, just let it go. The text is rough, not rough.
Mental illness has nothing to do with external factors such as constitution, heredity, family and environment. Many people have the same environment as us, and they can only decide whether they are happy or not. The real reason is that our hearts are full of desires and persistence, and we feel deep pressure to achieve a certain goal or requirement, which consumes a lot of energy and makes us lose control of our brains. If you can do the opposite, let go of your desires and demands, you can recover without drugs.
In fact, it is a question of thinking mode and three views. Drugs can only be an indicator, but not a permanent cure.
It's all our inner problems. We torture ourselves, we don't let ourselves go, complaining is useless, and others can't understand our wild fantasies.
Be sure to give up all addictive things.

The physical symptoms of mental illness will vary from person to person, and various symptoms may exist, and everyone is different. Those are just symptoms, rooted in the heart. Without bitter roots, there will be no bitter fruit. If you just take medicine, don't go to the roots, they grow taller in the spring breeze.
Don't label yourself casually. It's hard to tear it off.
