What do the work hours look like? How do you maintain work and family time?

I'm a high school student looking into becoming a psychiatrist, but I am looking forward to starting a family in my mid 20's. What do the work hours look like? Would I be spending a lot of time at work, or is it pretty well distributed? If you are a psychiatrist with a family at home, how do you manage your time?

Mentally draining psychiatrists?

Is being a psychiatrist mentally draining and exhausting? You're with people everyday at probably their lowest points of their lives, but you get to help them grow and get better. One one hand it is extremely rewarding, but I feel like it may get overwhelming a lot of the time. Is this true, and if so, how do psychiatrists deal with this?

Differences between psychologist and psychiatrist?

I am really interested in the field of mental health and psychology. I know psychiatrists can prescribe medication while psychologists can't, but is there any other major difference between the two careers? Is it worth the 4 years of medical school just to be able to prescribe drugs, or is there something else that I am unaware of? Thank you.
