Wrong. Four yrs of undergrad, 6 yrs of grad school, plus internship and a 2 yr postdoc is hardly any less “rigorous and time consuming” than getting an MD and specializing in psychiatry. Ph.D’s also have to do research and write a dissertation (also got a masters degree along the way,which also required research and a written thesis). Oh, dont forget qualifying exams. All on top of regular coursework, practicum (clinical) experience, etc. This is a TON of work. Please don’t minimize it.</p>
