Psychiatrist vs. Psychopharmacologist

Can anyone tell me the difference between these 2?
They both run through their checklist asking the appropriate questions. They both formulate judgements (opinions) about your condition or "disorder" within 2 hours of knowing you. Then they both prescribe drugs.
Dr. Bob? Isn't this the usual scenario?

"Psychopharmacologist" can mean either (1) a psychiatrist who specialises in prescribing medication, rather than "talk therapy;" or (2) a researcher who studies the effects of psychoactive drugs (in people or animals).

I'm glad to see you posting something other than flames. You'll get much nicer responses this way.
