For academic discourse:
There is a fundamental difference, the psychiatrist has studied medicine, It is “Psychology 2.0” allied to medicine, so he can prescribe drugs on prescription, or even intern one of his patients in a clinic (if he considers it necessary, but not always) propose or give an opinion on the relevance of a curatorship / tutorship etc. He has a lot of “power”.
Something that a psychologist does not have, the training is still not the same ...
Anyone could call themselves a psychologist by studying the subject a bit and open a practice, even you
In “OFF” I would say that we have to be very careful with all that, with the DSM, with the premature “qualification” of patients, etc.
It can have consequences, be iatrogenic ...
