Answer by AMY
Clinical psychologist is just a more specific kind of psychologist when you refer to someone as a clinical psychologist it implies that they see patients and are typically not research based. Also the difference between a psychiatrist and psychologist is a psychiatrist can prescribe medication usually anti depressants anti anxiety anti psychotic meds. Psychiatrists also have to go to med school in addition to being trained in psychology. Hope that helped
