Best Answer

Psychiatrists have to graduate medical school and be medical doctors in order to become psychiatrists of any kind. Medical school and your undergrad degree take 8 years to complete. Psychiatry requires residency experience (training) and another few years of schooling to get the degree. You are looking at a minimum of 12 years to become a child psychiatrist.
