Psychologists and Psychiatrists are different.

While there can be considerable overlap in their areas of work, Psychiatrists are Doctors (Medical Practitioners) who primarily look after people who have (often, psychotic) mental illnesses such as Schizophrenia, Bipolar Disorder etc., and they are Specialists in the use of psychotropic medications.

Psychologists, on the other hand, counsel, and offer therapy to, people who have problems such as anxiety, stress, depression, phobias etc. These are emotional and behavioural problems experienced by people in the more general population, and they are problems that Psychologists may often be best trained and equipped to help remedy.
