Both have Doctorate degrees but one is in Psychology and the other is in Medicine. Both provide treatment to individuals with emotional problems. As a psychologist I rely mainly on psychological methods of treatment and am not licensed to prescribe medication. A psychiatrist relies on the use of medication and on some methods of psychological treatment.
