http://www.kristajordan.com/depressi...ty-austin.htmlMany people are unaware of the differences between psychologists and psychiatrists. Psychiatrists are medical doctors who have completed medical school and gone on to do additional training in psychiatry. Due to their medical training they can prescribe medications including antidepressants and anxiety medications. Some are also trained to offer psychotherapy. Psychologists attend graduate school (instead of medical school) and receive 5-6 years of graduate training in mental health problems. They do not currently prescribe medications in the state of Texas but are highly skilled in assessment and treatment of mental disorders.
Yes there was plenty of bipolar in the 70's but with the stigma attached to it and other serious psychiatric diseases at that time, families went above and beyond to keep it quiet & private. Also, your comment about crying & being called a sissy have nada to do w/BPD. I'm not sure what you're implying there... other than that those of us who lived in the 70's were rude and inappropriate & uneducated???
Fuzzylumpikins--you made it sound like only M.D.s could prescribe any drugs.
I think most people are aware that Psychiatrists and not Psychologists can prescribe.
However, I'm pretty sure a D.O. can precribe psych meds, who is a DPM, can also.
I was not aware that anyone other than someone with a medical license could prescribe meds.
see my edit...
Are you talking about ANY meds or just psych meds? Even dentists (DDS) can prescribe meds.
All those degress I mentioned are medical degress and have to get licensed by the state just as a M.D.
you're damn right! in this world no one is to be trusted.
again, not a friend of mine but your assumptions are still humorous.
i rarely ever make my bed, what's the point when i am just going to mess it up again? hahaha!
btw, i did post photos of my tattoos which i am still not ashamed of. funny this is the s here who keep those photos and jackoff at night to them just to come in here and poke fun at me. they sure do got a love-hate relationship with my legs/me.
and you might think dropping out of HS was a stupid but so was going to classes that didn't mean jack to myself or the professional world. so if i got a HS diploma would i be sitting atop as a CEO somewhere at this time? nah, i would probably still be where i am at now or maybe, quite possibly, making a buck more an hour. get it through your head, HS doesn't mean , college on the other hand and experience does.
you can work at HEB all your life, move up in the ranks, have no HS diploma, and become a middle class citizen which i am assuming most at ST are already and with a HS diploma.
keep shooting them bullets at me and i'll keep dodging !
as for my job(s), what makes them any less glamorous than yours, if you do work, and others here? it's a in' job! if i like it and i have fun at it then how's it a ty job? maybe by your standards it is, and i'm ok with that, but by my standards it's not the worst job(s) out there.
again, i don't live my life to please you or anyone else here and i really don't care whether you regard me as anything other than a "failure" or whatever other stupid kids say on the internet these days.
live your life the way you want man. i don't give a what you do!
now, if you'd like to stop ing at me because you've got nothing better to do, there is a bi-polar dude here asking some legit questions of your MD ass that you can try and possibly answer. i mean, you're an MD right, and nothing but doctors should be giving advice, right? i only give my OPINION.
Interesting. I should have said medical license I suppose. I was not aware that osteopaths could now prescribe meds. Seems a contradiction but hey. I am sure the AMA threw a fit over it.
BTW I am not arguing that others should not be able to. I think the AMA's hegemony is a big problem.
well, now you know!
The point which you obviously missed is that you are the one that decided to share all this personal information with everyone else.
Apparently you revel in the attention because you certainly love talking about yourself when people troll you.
If you are satisfied with that more power to you.
i believe nurse prac ioners are able to prescribe medications so long as they have a physician "collaborator," whatever that means. i guess it's a physician who accounts for the liability?
koriwhat, you didnt know either so dont count this as some kind of GI Joe victory for you,

S y, as long as isn't prescribing lithium & prozac for ingrown toe nails then he'll probably be okay.Only MD's can prescribe?
Joe, according to this govt publication,
Occupational Outlook Handbook, 2010-11 Edition
I first looked this up after watching an episode of criminal minds where a had gone off his meds and began killing people, including his doctor who prescribed them and then took them away. On the office door it said he was a PhD and not an MD. I thought it was a mistake until I checked it out. Gotta love google!
The always could! A Nurse Practioner can write scripts.
They're just talking psychologist vs. psychiatrists and only meds for mental illness.
hey, maybe i'm bi-polar! the narcissist inside says, nah.
btw, this is a messageboard man, of spurs fans and excuse me for getting a couple tattoos of the spurs logo i thought i'd share a photo of on ST. i think you blow things out of proportion and follow the leader when it comes to knockin' on me. cool and cool. do your thing!
if it is attention i seek i could do so a ton of ways that would be easier but let me flip in onto you sir. is it not attention you seek by trying to diss me? i mean you use the same lame ass shtick as the others with the same redundancy and you think that's not a cry for attention? if you think that, then why is phillip here with all his "lol" comments and CryBaby with the same lame shtick.
hey, if the shoe fits, wear it. if you make your bed daily, sleep in it and mess it up nightly!
Not without an MD they cannot.
Texas
General authority to prescribe is evidenced by inclusion on the prescription of the prescriber's le and state-issued Rx # and as outlined in the prescriber's collaborative practice protocols
All prescriptions must show collaborating physician's name, address, and phone #
Authority to prescribe controlled substances includes Schedule III-V; state registration requirements (in addition to federal DEA registration) are contained in rules
Prescriptions for scheduled drugs must show the name and DEA # of both the prescriber and the collaborating physician
damn you!
i'm not here for victories but i thank you for informing us all.
yes, i know that, but they don't run to the MD and ask if they can write it. They just work under his license.
I'm not sure FL was, because he made it sound only an M.D. could write scripts. I may have misundertstood him, though.
like i said...all that means is that the nurse is prescribing under a doctor's license who is willing to handle the liability.
Yes there was plenty of bipolar in the 70's but with the stigma attached to it and other serious psychiatric diseases at that time, families went above and beyond to keep it quiet & private. Also, your comment about crying & being called a sissy have nada to do w/BPD.

You can put what ever spin on this as you wish but the facts are China,Canada,Germany,Russia,Africa,etc....seem to be doing fine w/o all the pills we Americans think we need. This country has survived over 200 years w/o Prozac and because some over paid tree hugging doctor driving a Lexus says I need 50 mg of xanax because I cry when I see Marley & Me?
no thanks, today there are over 20 different pills if your kids are sneezing,20 pills if you have heartburn, 20 pills if your depressed ect...
tell me whats wrong with people growing a spine and trying to make some effort to get through life without using pills or a made up mental illness?
If a person is really mentally ill they should live at a mental ins ution, If they are able to eat pork skins while watching Jerry springer they are no worst off than Bigzax who is able to TRoll ST.
Y'all! Bigzak ripped one of his own TESTICLES off! WTF??????
Zak please explain this self injurious decision further...
Define fine.
The nations homeless population are mostly the mentally ill. That is why they are not able to function. You cannot simply throw people into sanitariums and have not been able to since the 70s.
Now I will agree that depression, bipolar, anxiety disorders and the like are entirely overdiagnosed but that makes them no less real.
Bipolar as a diagnosis has been around for over 50 years as has schizophrenia and depression. You need to have some perspective. Modern medicine has only been around for 100 or so years.
Cell theory was not developed until the mid 19th century.
Penicillin was not even discovered until 1930.
I realize that you are a luddite but the results of these medications have been proven in clinical trials. The whole rugged individualism thing is boring.
Given the increase in medical demand coming in a few years nurse prac ioners are going to be very much so demand in the near future. Hopefully cir stances will remove the AMA's stranglehold on health care.
Bumping this thread. How are you doing today so far, BigZ?
