Is there a difference between Psychiatrist and a Therapist?

I am suffering from relationship issues, which is leading me into a depression. Whom should I approach for treatment: a psychiatrist or a therapist? Also, what is the difference between the two specialties?

A psychiatrist has an MD, the others don't. I recommend a psychologist or psychiatric social worker who specializes in relationship therapy.
