Go to salary.com and see what they make in your area. Check to know for sure but I think they run innto 6 digits.

Yes, they do.

It depends on your definition of "decent" but personally I feel that they are living on a great salary.

They make the least amount of money for people who go to medical school. The perks is they do not have to touch their clients, and their job actually turns clients away do to being in high demand.

Surprisingly… they actually make a good amount of money (well, those who had jobs anyway).
Pyschiatry is mostly involved in hospitals and rehabs, plus, they are a good choice than psychologists since they can prescribe medicines. And the people who are going crazy are on the rise… just look at yahoo answers!
Anyway.. Psychiatrists are doctors so.. 10 -12 years

They are doctors so yes they do, mine charges enough that I can tell he probably does very well.

There are people that apply themselves and do great and then there are people that get by. It depends on your commitment and also the city you practice in. You can make more in a bigger city but you need more for the cost of living. You have to be both a technician and a business person. You need both quality of service and self promotion.

they make good money.
the biggest hidden problem is that it's awful tough to deal with deeply troubled people year after year after year
by occupation, psychiatry has a high rate of practitioners who become troubled in their own right. alcohol abuse is not uncommon.

Sweetie, my dad is mentally ill. If your reasons for going into psychiatry revolve around how much money you make, do the families of the mentally ill a favor and find another line of work.
You see, if you're a psychiatrist, you might get a call from your exchange because a patient's family is calling you for help because their family member is having a psychotic break, is delusional, and they need your assistance in getting him hospitalized. Before he hurts himself or someone else.
Or you might get a call from a patient's family member late at night, telling you that they're in the ER of the local hospital, where their family member was admitted after being found collapsed on the street with a bag with a bunch of empty medicine bottles in it, and they need you to talk to the admitting doctor about what to do now.
Or it might be an ER physician who calls you because the completely incoherent, psychotic patient the police picked up and dumped on them had your card in his wallet, and they need to know about what his problems are and who, if any, of his family might be contacted to assist them.
You might also see as patients people who have mental illnesses that make them dangerous to the small children for whom they are a primary caregiver, a custodial parent, or have living in the household with them. And you can't be thinking about the size of your bank account when there are lives that might depend on the decision you make about the patient you are seeing.
If money is why you want to get into medicine at all, shame on you. If money is what's on your mind then stay out of psychiatry. It isn't a pretty specialty and the people who will be depending on you will be assuming, hoping, that you have their best interests in mind, not the size of your bank account and how much money you're going to make.
Sheesh.
