Does your psychiatrist actually do anything other than shove various medications at you?

Psychiatrists are useless nowadays. Psychologists are the ones to visit for actual treatment, less reliance on drugs.
And masters ie MSWs/LCSWs of social work.

8+ years of schooling, baccalaureate & masters minimum, plus a few thousand hours of supervision -same as psych- before they can apply to be licensed; instead of 3 weeks of education by the council/county/state.

The only difference between an LCSW & PsyD? Psychology has an “ideal” to work towards, whilst MCSW/LCSWs “ideal” is the patients.
