I had almost the same thing happening to me. For a couple years when I was a teenager I only saw psychiatrists as it's easier to see them for free in France. I saw 3 different psychiatrists who all said to me I was clinically depressed and needed medication after only one appointment. Now, I've been seeing a psychologist for 2.5 years and he has never diagnosed me with anything, which I prefer. My guess is simply that their approach is different and their job is different. If you go see a psychiatrist, of course he will be more focused on medication. This doesn't mean you shouldn't trust your therapist. For me, I prefer someone who believes I can make it without medication and who is more willing to listen to me.
