Choosing the right mental health professional can feel overwhelming, especially when the differences between psychiatrists, psychologists, and other therapists are not always clear. In this episode of Two Shrinks & A Mic, Dr. Andrew Rosen and Dr. David Gross break down the major mental health disciplines and explain how their training, approaches, and roles in treatment differ.

The conversation explores what psychiatrists and psychologists actually do, how medication and therapy work together, and why there is no one size fits all solution in mental health care. They discuss common challenges patients face, including misdiagnosis, rigid treatment approaches, and the growing confusion around credentials in the field.

Dr. Rosen and Dr. Gross also share guidance on how to evaluate a provider, what to expect from therapy and medication, and why feeling supported and understood by your clinician matters just as much as their degree. This episode is designed to help listeners feel more informed, empowered, and hopeful as they take the next step toward getting the care they need.
