Can phsychologists prescribe medicine

Answer 1

Generally NO. Unless your Psychologist has been to Medical School, and has passed the D.E.A. Registry and CAN Prescribe, like a PSYCHIATRIST can. I know this IS somewhat confusing, but it IS true, at least in the State of Ohio. Remember THIS Question, as you choose your OWN Psychologist and enter his or her Practice. Psychologist's, will, among many things, conduct Several Tests and Testing of Subjects under his care. (as an example, I cite the Industrial Psychologist, who will, many times, give certain Job Applicants tests before they are Employed in a certain job description- such as a Firefighter or a Specialty Nurse).

Yes, as they are considered Doctors of Psychology.
