    Please use spoiler tags whenever commenting a spoiler in a non-spoiler thread. Most of the Lemmy clients don't support this but we want to get into the habit as clients will be supporting in the future.

Aren't psychiatrists the ones with more in depth knowledge and the ones that can legally prescribe medications?

Yeah, psychologists are the ones who haven't gone through med school.

If all you have is a hammer, everything is a nail.

The problem I have with psychiatry is finding any honesty about the progress that's been made in the field.

If they would at least let you know how little is known, how much is based on bad or no testing, and how low the chance of a medication working exactly as expected is, then I would consider seeing one.

Its more like they think they have a hammer but aren't sure, and are going around looking for the types of things they can hammer with it at random.

They tend to be more medicine focused and do less diagnostic.
