What’s the difference between a neurologist, a neurosurgeon, a neuroscientist, and a neuropsychiatrist? And how is it different from encephalology?

Question

I’ve looked it up, but all of them essentially sound like the same thing to me. I’m aware that there’s probably some nuance, so that’s what I’m posting it here for.

Neurologist gives you drugs. Neurosurgeon cuts you open. Neuroscientist studies the brain. Neuropsychiatrist probably gives you therapy and drugs. Encephalology is the study of head related stuff, including stuff that’s not brain.
