Certain institutions allow students to take up several programs at once while others have certain restrictions.

Workload and Time Commitment: Both, Ph.D. and M.A. are serious academic endeavors. It would require a massive time, effort, and commitment.

Overlapping Courses: if there is a great similarity in the course work between these two degrees, one may perhaps opt to take some course to fulfill partially the requirement of one of the degree, thereby reducing the overall workload.

Research Interests: Consider whether there is some overlap in your research interests in Anthropology and Psychology. Combining the two may make the program more feasible and enjoyable.

Consult graduate programs at the universities that interest you before making a final decision. They may be able to provide specific information regarding policies, course requirements, and challenges you may face.
