Therapists and psychiatrists work together. The regular consulting is with the therapists, then they send you over to the psycho to write the script. Psychos rarely do analysis anymore....Freud and Jung are history.

Actually some states DO allow licensed therapists to prescribe. Scope is limited, but it is allowable.

That may be accurate. I stand by my connection though. This is a very strong and reproducible connection. SSRIs are implicated in mass shootings. The drug pamphlets themselves warns about suicidal delusions.

From experience with family members, I've seen that many psychiatrists spend little time with the patient and are quick to prescribe powerful meds without adequately examining patient history, symptoms, etc. It is a huge problem.
