Psychologist vs. Psychiatrist?

I have a very good friend who recently had a baby and showing signs of the baby blues in a bad way. She is looking to talk to someone to get help - and we're confused on whether a psychiatrist or a psychologist is the way to go. I googled and found some of the bigger differences (one prescribes meds, the other doesn't - and the differences in training. I was/am under the impression that a psychiatrist is more for meds and not talking - where a psychologist is only about talking. Is that right to say?
