A psychiatrist is a doctor, and you would need either an MD or DO, which is an 8 year process (4 years to get the Bachelors, addtl 4 years in med school for the MD/DO). After that, you must spend 4 years as a resident specialist -- so you are looking at a total of 12 years of college minimum. The only masters degrees that could allow you prescribing ability would be as a Nurse Practitioner or Physician Assistant, but you would have to work under the supervision of an MD or DO.
