That's an important distinction that too few people understand:
Psychiatrists: medical doctors with a specialization in mental health who can prescribe drugs
Psychologists: trained professionals with an academic degree who provide mental health care by (generally) talking with you
Both are important health care providers, but they generally do very different things, and in a mental health crisis you best have one of each at hand.
