How to pronounce this word psychiatry?

suh-KY-uh-tree, or sy-KY-uh-tree.
The "p" is completely silent.
The first "y" is often the indefinite "uh-"-like "schwa" sound.
The "i" is a "long i," pronounced like "eye."
The "a" is another schwa.
And the final -y is like a long "e", so the -try is like the word "tree."
In the adjectival form, "psychiatric," everything changes! "sy-kee-AT-trick."
