No, I don't think anyone but those who are seriously mentally-ill should be using prescription drugs. I think psychology, when it comes to depression and stuff, is a complete joke.It's a way for them to make money. You shouldn't depend on medicine, and even a psychologist in order to be okay. You have to learn how to get over things on your own.
Yea. It seems like 99% of the public can be diagnosed with depression or something and take all the pills in the world to wash away their problems.
Psychiatrists are doctors – psychologists do not have to have a doctorate in medicine(psychiatrists do) to practice their trade. They have not studied medicines and their effects, etc. so they should not be able to prescribe them.
Just my not-so-humble opinion.
Sure, makes it easier to get the "happy pills" :p
Agree with you there. There is nothing else to say, let us keep the doctors who prescribe people.
No they should not. Of course I don't think a doctor shouldn't be prescribing medication based solely upon a 5 minute conversation with a patient either.
