My Gp was a therapist for 5 before he decided to go back to school to be a MD.. So he has more of a working knowledge of psych stuff that helps,. but I would not let any GP manage Psych meds ( I'm not on meds currently)
"Most" GP's just don't have enough training to handle more than a garden variety depression, IMO .
Psych meds and how the interact with other medications need a specialist..
If I have say ....epilepsy I'm not going to let my GP manage my treatment, I would see a Neurologist as they just know more about the meds and treatments.
Just my opinion of course...
