Answer 2

well - you got to become an MD... so that's medical school. However, it depends upon what you want to do as a psychiatrist - if you want to talk to people and help them, you might skip the MD and the psychiatrist part and be a clinical psychologist. Mostly the modern psychiatrist just pushes pills - different doses of dope to see if their patients feel better - and very little talking.

Answer 3

A psychiatrist must first go to medical school and become an MD. Then they choose their specialty and go on to specialize in Graduate school.
