What is the difference between psychopharmacology and psychiatry? would a psychopharmacologist help more in finding the correct medicine?

Not necesserily: Psychopharmacologist may not be a medical doctor and although he/she might know a lot about medication he/she might not be able to diagnose your condition that well.

Depends: Psychiatrists are physicians with special training in diagnosing & treating psychiatric disorders. Knowing what to treat is vital. Most but not all psychopharmacologists are psychiatrists who specialize further in meds, but other physicians and in some states psychologists also can prescribe. If you have been "treatment resistant, " consult a psychiatric psychopharmacologist.

All psychiatrists...: All psychiatrists are trained nowadays in the use of medication to treat certain mentland emotional conditions such as depression. Psychopharmacology is the name for these treatment methods. But as with all medical specialties and subspecialties, some psychiatrists concentrate in particular on the use of medications.

Definitions : A psychopharmacologist is typically a psychiatrist who identifies as having studied psychiatric medications in significant depth and has a very technical approach to medication management. If someone is looking for purely medication management and possibly has had difficulties finding a helpful medication in the past, then a psychopharmacologist is a good option to try.
