I am in no way nearly as knowledgeable as some of our wonderful members - but from my experience, a psychologist will (or should) assist with therapy on various levels but is unable to prescribe meds. A psychiatrist goes deeper into the dynamics of mental illness and prescribes drugs accordingly.

Often, one goes to a psychologist first and is referred to a psychiatrist if further intervention is needed in the form of medication.

Good luck.
