As someone who has experienced both psychologists and psychiatrists as a patient I can offer this insight: Present a problem - any problem - and a psychiatrist will reach for a prescription pad. You'll be categorized, cubby-holed and dropped into some neat definition listed in DSM5. A psychologist doesn't have this easy-out. No meds. They are more motivated to provide real help because they can't fall back on the 'simple solution'. Just my 2 cents. BTW: Main problem for me: depression.
