Psychiatrist is a doctor who cures you using drugs

Psychotherapist is a doctor who cures you using non drug methods, such as cognitive behaviour therapy, he corrects your brain errors by teaching you the correct logic

Psychologist is not a doctor, he is just a guy who solves (gives advices) your problems. He is like your best friend but for money
