Psychology is different from psychiatry, as you don't do the same diagnostics. If you can get into med school right now, then you'll be directed towards psychiatry within the years. If not, I recommend you take science courses, such as biology, biochemistry, etc, that will help you get into med school, and not waste time on psychology that won't help you at all. Example: If after 2 years of biochemistry your grades are good enough, you can reapply to med school and try to get in. The only way to become a psychiatrist is through medical school (it's a specialization), and concentrating in biology and biochemistry will help you get in. Don't spend your time on psychology.

Psycology should cover psychiatric areas as well.

Then you would have to get into medical school and do your specialization in Psychiatry. Make sure you can spell "psychology" though. Psychology should be your undergrad.
