People haven't known this?

News alert:  Psychiatrists don't do therapy; they dish pills.  This has been true for quite some time.  

Most of the research shows that a combination of talk therapy and pill therapy is the most effective.  As it happens, psychologists and social workers are often more widely trained in therapeutic technique anyway.   You go to a psychologist or social worker for talk therapy, and to determine if medication is indicated in your case.  If it is determined that this might be a helpful approach, you go to a psychiatrist.

It's not necessarily the world's worst system, but you do wonder why anyone would want to become a psychiatrist.  Who would want to spend each and every day managing 1000 med checks?
