Hello Prerna,
Happy dusshera,
Your qualifications all seems a bit haphazard. After a Biotechnology course a P.hd in Psychiatry and a distance learning in psychology. I dont get the connection.
Which course do you wish to make a career in. Biotechnology or psychiatry. Anyways according to me since you are doing a research in psychiatry best would be to continue in the same fieldm
But please note a psychologists and a psychiatrist are both in the same field. A psychologists is a mental health professional who deals with therapies and counseling techniques and administers test but not medicines. Whereas a Psychiatrist, is a mental health professional who apart from counseling and therapies administer drugs to their clients. They come from the medical field and are actually doctors, with knowledge in medicine. Psychologists work hand in hand with a Psychiatrists.
Since Psychiatrists are medical doctors, I doubt you could function as a Psychiatrists after a P.hd in psychiatry. Anyways a distance learning in psychology, can help you function as a counselor. But for that I would recommend, working or atleast internship with a counseling organization so that whatever you learn in the course you could have practical experience too.
Hope this helps.
Wish you good luck...
