A psychiatrist is a medical doctor with an MD degree. A psychologist has a PhD and can't prescribe medications. Usually a psychologist is better at therapy than a psychiatrist, but you need a psychiatrist to get the best advice on medicine. Lots of times, they will work together.

Same, basically, except a Ph D Psychiatrist can prescribe medications.
