Answers:
A psychiatrist is a medical doctor who has specialized in mental health. They are able to write prescriptions for psychiatric drugs.
A psychologist has undergone training to counsel people.
So in the case of a mental illness, a psychiatrist might make the diagnosis and prescribe and monitor the treatment while a psychologist works with the patient to help them learn to cope with their problems.
A psychiatrist prescribes the drugs you need that your psychologist recommends. One has a prescription license and the other doesn't!!
