Reply #5: Psychologists can work for a clinic that pushes drugs. [View All]

That was the case with my former clinic - SSRI's were seemingly automatically prescribed for a variety of disorders, and talk therapy was limited to several sessions. That is fortunately not the case with my psych clinic. My therapist is very cautious about recommending drug therapy. He reluctantly suggested I see the psychiatrist about taking an antidepressant/antianxiety med in the short term to get me through some very difficult family problems.
