The main difference between psychology/psychiatry and neuropsychology is in their approaches to how they address psychological conditions. Psychologists and psychiatrists focus on emotions (e.g, depression, anxiety) and use talk therapy and medications, while neuropsychologists focus on cognitive and brain disorders (e.g., Alzheimer's, autism, learning disorder, traumatic brain injury) and implement cognitive rehabilitation best practices. Most people can benefit from a psychologist or psychiatrist. However, you would generally only seek the services of a neuropsychologist in the case of a brain-altering condition or an event that has impacted your cognition, memory, or language skills.
