The Psychology and Psychiatry are both different apart. Psychology deals with human perception, cognition, behavior, etc. Psychiatry on the other hand is a medical branch deals with mental disorder, diagnosis, prevention and medicines. Traditionally, the basic research program in Psychology has been obsessed with abnormal behavior and processes, and aptly complements,. Psychiatry with its applied focus on mental health and illness. On the contrary, you see psychiatry is more about medicine, nerves, brain, neurotransmitters etc. whereas psychology is more about how you think, feel, behave etc. My advise is that you may go with the course of Psychiatry. The psychiatrist then has a more general knowledge of many biological factors, the big majority not related to behaviour (because he is an MD) and later specialises in the biology of behaviour (5 years). In India, there is a great opportunity to those who are pursuing this career. Hope this helps. Best of Luck.
