To be psychiatrist you HAVE to be an MD, to be a psychologist you only need to get college degrees (preferably a PhD if you want to actually practice)

YOU TALK FOR A SHORTER PERIOD OF TIME WITH A PSYCHIATRIST WHO WILL DETERMINE IF THERE SHOULD BE ANY CHANGE IN YOUR MEDICATION.THEY ALSO OFFER OTHER AVENUES TO THE PATIENT BY TALKING ABOUT WHAT'S GOING ON WITH THE PATIENTS LIFE.
A PSYCHOLOGIST TALKS WITH YOU FOR (USUALLY) A PREDETERMINED AMT. OF TIME SO THAT YOU BOTH CAN BECOME COMFORTABLE TALKING ABOUT WHATEVERYOU WAN'T TO.
