Best Answer

A physician can perscribe anti-depression medicine, but whether they do or not is a personal option. Physicians often first refer the patient to a phyciatrist for a consultation. Once the phyciatrist has a greed that an anti-depressent is the appropriate treatment, then the physician will take care of monitoring and perscribing refills.
