Psychoanalysts are professionals who specialize in psychoanalytic therapy, which is a form of talk therapy. While they may have advanced degrees in psychology or related fields, they are not medical doctors and cannot prescribe medication.

Can Psychoanalysts prescribe medicine?

Psychoanalysts who are not MDs or DOs cannot prescribe. Psychiatrists can prescribe medicine (due to their four years of medical school training, followed by four years of psychiatry residency training, in both psychopharmacology and psychotherapy). Psychoanalysts, psychotherapists, psychologists and social workers do not have the medical training required to prescribe medications, order the necessary lab tests to monitor them, and order ancillary tests (CTs and MRIs when indicated, EEGs, etc.) as well as perform physical exams in the hospital setting, when necessary. That being said, there are two states, New Mexico and Louisiana, which allow for psychologists to prescribe psychotropic medications (after training in psychopharmacology) as long as they are under the supervision of a licensed physician.
