Psychiatry and psychology are two distinct fields.

Psychiatrists, for lack of useful lab tests, must prescribe by trial and error. They have the additional problem that they use the same name for a variety of different illnesses. It would be like your mechanic says "busted" for all different failures, and just tries replacing random parts until one helps.
