How long do you plan on studying? To be a psychiatrist, you’re looking at 9 years, for psychology its 4 or 5. Are you only interested in mental and emotional problems or physical problems too? You got to be a M.D before you can study psychiatry, psychology is a simpler route if thats what you’re looking for.
