I need to make an appointment with a doctor for depression & eating disorder. From which specialities (Psychiatry or Psychology) should I choose a doctor from? What is the difference?

A psychiatrist is a physician who specializes in psychiatry and is certified in treating mental illness.[1] As part of their evaluation of the patient, psychiatrists are one of only a few mental health professionals who may prescribe psychiatric medication, conduct physical examinations, order and interpret laboratory tests and electroencephalograms, and may order brain imaging studies such as computed tomography or computed axial tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and positron emission tomography scanning.

A psychologist is a scientist and/or clinician who studies psychology, the systematic investigation of the human mind, including behavior and cognition. Psychologists are usually categorized under a number of different fields, the most well-recognized being clinical psychologists, who provide mental health care, and research psychologists, who collect information on people’s minds.

Time and time again I have crossed paths with gay men who act like drama queens. I am by no means homophobic, but this is a pattern I have noticed among gay men in particular. What is the deal? Isn’t it drama enough to be a gay man in this world? Why make everything a soap opera?

I guess I don’t know many gay drama queens. I just know female teenage ones (namely my daughters).

I don’t have the luxury of making my daughters go away; however, I have found if you ignore drama it tends to stop. Just don’t feed into it. Your friends will find someone else to tell their soap stories too.

It’s a coincidence. The films aren’t made by the same people and don’t star the same actors - they just happen to be about the same subject.

This happens fairly often in Hollywood - two or more films will come out at the same time on the same subject. Think of Armageddon and Deep Impact a few years ago, or during the 80s when there was a glut of films about children magically becoming adults (Big, Vice Versa, Freaky Friday, etc).
