I don't necessarily trust medical doctors more than I trust psychologists. Medical doctors typically lack a thorough understanding of the statistical methods that make medical research meaningful. In addition, even if they did have the math down, they frequently lack the time or inclination to read published research with a sufficiently critical eye.
On top of that, I've lost count of the number of times I've gone to the doctor only to leave with a shrug from the doctor, a "maybe this will help" prescription and a $400 bill for my troubles.
