A psychiatrist prescribes meds
A psychologist cannot prescribe meds.

Either you have an incompetent psychiatrist or you’re actually only seeing a psychologist.

A psychiatrist is a medical doctor.
A psychologist is not a medical doctor.

Which do you have?

My Dr. is a Yale educated psychiatrist who is a Professor at one of the leading medical schools in the South West. This is the way he runs his practice. He expects his patients to get their prescriptions from their primary care doctors or psychiatric nurse practitioners which is fine with me. By the way, before I considered any newly prescribed meds, I consulted him. There were several meds he advised me to refuse. It doesn’t matter who prescribes your meds. It’s trial and error. I was fine seeing my primary care doctor or psychiatric nurse practitioners for my medications. Maybe due to my age or wrong dosing, none of the meds worked for me.
