You need to go through medical school to become a psychiatrist. With a doctoral degree in psychology you will be a psychologist. What you are permitted to do with that degree depends on what area of psychology you specialize in.

You need a MD (i.e. you need to go to medical school and pass licensing exams) to be a psychiatrist and prescribe drugs. You can be a psychologist with a PhD, and you can probably earn more money than you would with a bachelor’s in psychology, but you cannot prescribe drugs.
