Question

if someone has a mental health disorder that requires medication, which mental health professional would be the best choice?
○ psychologist
○ clinical social worker
○ psychiatrist
○ mental health counselor

Explanation:

Psychiatrists are medical doctors (MD or DO) who specialize in mental health, including diagnosing and treating mental health disorders with medication. Psychologists, clinical social workers, and mental health counselors typically focus on therapy and do not have the medical training to prescribe medication (in most jurisdictions). So for a mental health disorder requiring medication, a psychiatrist is the best choice.
