A psychiatrist must hold an MD degree. I psychologist does not need the extra 4 years. A psychiatrist may prescribe medicine (being an MD). A psychologist may not. In some states it used to be possible for anybody to proclaim them self to be a psychologist as there was no formal definition of the requirements. I believe that most of those states have tightened up the situation.
