Psychology, Psychiatry, Spirituality and Buddhism.

 Psychology is the scientific study of the human mind and its behaviour.
Psychiatry is the study and treatment of mental illness, emotional disturbance and abnormal behaviour.
Spirituality is related to the human spirit beyond this material life.
Buddhism investigates the causes and cessation of suffering.

 Spirituality and religion are not necessarily the same, as there are theistic (believing in an external God) and non theistic (not believing in external God) religions. Psychiatry and Psychology have their variations. I practice the Buddhist methods (Dharma), but do not see it as a religion: others do.

 Psychology deals with behaviour.
Psychiatry deals with abnormal behaviour.
Spirituality deals with belief.
Buddhist spiritual psychology deals with the causes and cessation of belief and behaviour.

 Psychology, Psychiatry, Spirituality and Buddhism are all to do with mental welfare, and have different approaches. Knowledge is neutral: its use, however, may either expand or limit understanding.

 All humans have the ability to use reason and logic, and to achieve enlightenment. In a way, we are all Psychologists, Psychiatrists, Spiritualists and Buddhists if we first look at ourselves! What is important is looking at the whole picture which we can prove, and not merely a part of it which relies on another’s interpretation.
