It's not that one is better than the other, it's just that they are slightly different in approach to a particular field. The differences are noted below in brief.

The Master of Arts degree (MA) has a broader scope, with a strong emphasis on the humanities, theoretical and general knowledge in a recognized discipline, interdisciplinary field, or of a professional study.

The Master of Science degree (MS) is more of a focused approach with a science base to include a balance of liberal arts, technological knowledge, math and computer oriented skills, and practical skills needed for a particular discipline within the field.

A psychiatrist needs an MD degree and additional specialized training. You did not say what area your MA is in. That might not make much difference in terms of the MD, but it could have a bearing on other directions in the therapy/counseling fields.
