The words have very similar meanings
Psychology is an academic and applied discipline involving the scientific study of human mental functions and behavior.
So a phychological problem is a a problem with the mind's fuction or behavoir that can be understood and examined objectively.
Metal is defined as 'about or having to do with the mind.' So a mental problem is any problem that has anything to do with the mind.
It's probably good to realize that it's the 'science' part that really seperates these two words. Mental is a general word for things about the mind. Psychological is a much more percise word that is used in serious scientific study having to do with the human mind.
