IMHO a psychologist who is your T is less likely to pass out drugs then a psychiatrist. I live in the first state to implement that law. The T has to work w the person on drugs and knows more about what's going on w client. U see a surgeon for surgery, u see a psychiatrist for drugs. That's their job. And they usually make the decision on what drugs, doseage, how long u should be on them in what, a 15 minute evaluation. If u are after drugs, a lot easier to fake a 15 minute eval. Dr shopping has dropped significantly here which I think is great for the people who honestly need prescription help.
