since psychiatrists have to be MD's, i would think you need to be in a pre-med program in college before you go to medical school. maybe you should find out the requirements for med school &/or a psychiatric specialty. psychologists and psychiatrists are very different in their counseling approaches.
6 :
To be a psychiatrist you first must become an M.D. To be a psychologist, many colleges offer that specialty, at the Bachelor's, Master's, and Ph.D. level. To practice clinically as a psychologist you had better get a Ph.D. degree which takes about 7 years after high school. For med school take any degree that is high in courses in biochemistry and psychology.
