Ive been going to shrinks and therapists for such a long time (Quit about few years ago) that I still cannot understand why psychiatrists are able to write scripts and not psychologists. All of the psychiatrists that Ive seen never allowed me to express my feelings without them telling me to take it up to my therapist. They always want to hear my symptoms and the kind of side effects that Im getting from the medication that I was taking at the time of my visit. How can they treat my problems without having to hear what I say? Not to mention my life story. How can a psychiatrist sit there and tell me that I have a chemical imbalance when they dont want to hear my life story?
Ive notice that the laws are changing over the past couple of years. In few states such as Louisiana allows licensed psychologists (who have PhD) to write scripts. I hope one day that the laws would make it so that psychologists could have the authorization of writing scripts for anti depression, anti psychotics, anti anxiety/panic attacks, etc.
