    grencha, these days psychiatrists do practically nothing outside of prescribing medication. They usually are seen in conjunction with a string of lower-paid people in the profession of mental health, because insurance coverage is so limited. A visit might be 10 or 15 minutes. Therapy is done by people with all sorts of non-MD degrees. Even diagnosis, often times.

    I happen to agree with you that they are mostly unnecessary. And some therapists have script-writing licenses.
    I happen to find your hypothetical questions strange in an anonymous site. You ask a lot of them. We are shooting in the dark half the time, trying to play 20 questions.
    If you could loosen up a little, it would help.
