A psychiatrist prescribes meds. A therapist cannot. What sucks is I've been with him for five years. I don't want another shrink, as in my experience most are strange. I do need both. Drs. these days are only about meds and 15 minute appointments. My therapist and I work on life issues and our sessions last for 55 or so minutes. Both have been great.
