“Who makes more money, a ‘Psykeiser’ or a ‘Psychogist’?”

According to my panhandling pal "Stutter Boss" (he’s a professional like Kobe Bryant and a good guy), Psychiatrists are more qualified than Psychologists, as their PhD’s require more schooling, and they can prescribe medication. However, he says, regardless of their educational background, how can anyone say something is wrong with his mind when they didn’t make him? And it’s a very valid point. He argues that if they had made him, like you would make an android or a computer, then he can understand how their diagnosis could be credible. Just like technicians find problems with any sort of machinery that they have created; they can then derive the appropriate diagnosis and apply the proper methods of solution because they know the machine inside and out. Man vs. Machine, you know the drill... So how can they truly say something is wrong with his mind when they know nothing really about the still mysterious and miraculous creation of man? How can anybody really say anything when they know nothing? Yes, even with modern science. But it’s ok, I’ll say all I want, an I hope you do too, just don’t mess with Willie "Stutter Boss", Jr. ‘cause he’s a good guy.
