Well, I have a careers book, and this is exactly what it states:
"A high school student interested in this field should take a college preparationary course that emphasizes science. After high school, the training of a psychiatrist takes from 12 to 14 years. After receiving an M.D. degree and completing a one-year medical internship in a hospital approved by the American Medical Association [AMA], a prospective psychiatrist begins a three to four year psychiatric specialty program."

Well i can't really answer that because for every person it's different. Some people work slow some people work fast it's all up to you and how well you pass all your exams But to work as a psychiatrist, you must:
complete a bachelor's degree;
graduate from medical school;
complete an internship;
pass a state licensing exam;
complete a three-year residency program in psychiatry;
pass additional exams to become board certified;
All together that's more then 10 years i believe
But hey don't take my word for it go here to read all about it:
