Here in the us psychiatrists do diagnose. the psychologist don't. They do the therapy work with you. psychiatrists do the meds and diagnose you. Here I don't trust a social worker or CPN, or anything other than a psychiatrist or psychologist. They have more knowledge, more schooling and more training.
