First you have to go to college for 2 years.
Then get a degree in a university.
Then go to medical school for a foundation of 2 years.
Then 5 or 6 more years for you qualifications.

In total, about 10 - 12 years

Good Luck :)

What?!

To OP,

Get an undergraduate degree from an accredited university, preferably with a major in chemistry, biology or biochemistry. Go to medical school for four years followed by a residency in psychiatry. Speak to your local academic advisor.
