Psychiatrist vs Psychologist Appointment

I’ve been having a rough time. I was unofficially diagnosed with depression when I was seeing a counselor in college. I’ve managed it most of my life, but my husband and I agreed I should see someone soon. So I’ve scheduled an appointment with a Psychiatrist.

Obviously, this will be a virtual appointment over computer video chat. I’m nervous because I’ve only ever been to therapists / psychologists, but my husband and I decided I should see a psychiatrist since they’re the ones who can prescribe meds if it turns out to be necessary, but I don’t think it will. I don’t want to be on medications at all, but I can’t keep going like this.

Does anyone have any advice or recommendations, or is anyone willing to share their experience with a psychiatrist versus a therapist?
