The main difference is that a psychiatrist has an MD, went to medical school and prescribe drugs. A psychologist usually has a masters degree, which does not give them the ability to prescribe medication

A psychologist has a master's degree and provides counseling services. A Psychiatrist is a medical doctor (MD) that has specialized in psychiatry.
Psychologists cannot prescribe medications. Psychiatrists can because they are physicians.

A psychiatrist goes to medical school so they are an MD and can prescribe medications.
A psychologist is a Ph.D meaning they got to graduate school so are not allowed at this time to prescribe medications.
They both are called Dr and both should be able to provide counseling.

In general, it's the type of education they receive. A psychologist gets a PhD or non-medical degree and a psychiatrist gets a medical degree--meaning going through med school, internship at hospital, etc.

A psychiatrist has a medical degree and can give medicine, and a psychologist does not have a medical degree and so can not give medicine.
