Are the rules for Psychiatrists and Psychoanalists that strict in America?
P'doc just dispense drugs and Therapists talk?
I live in Australia. Some p'docs just do meds and therapists talk. But the are some Psychiatrists do both dispense meds but also listen and teach me things about myself. P'docs are in short supply but the Medicare system basically funds most of the visits. Therapists on the other hand do charge the same amount but you can only claim on 10 visits per year. It gets too expensive.
Over here its a matter finding some-one that you can connect with regardless of their title. That connection paves the the way for therapy that is most productive. I dont really think that you can say one title is better the than the other.
