I literally don’t understand, is this some Murica thing that everyone thinks that they’re the smartest I am in rage, I study psychology for quite some time and suddenly these guys want to tell me that they know better, because they took some course or had 30 hour practice or a class bye I agree 1000%, I’d rather see a specialist who can inform me correctly and diagnose me correctly, rather than someone who doesnt have THAT much broad knowledge on the field. I mean there are so many illnesses out there, that need to be treated differently I could never trust someone with that who isn’t an expert on the field. ⟡ ⋆ ˚｡⋆🦢⋆ ˚｡⋆⟡ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaga said that if your family doctor is prescribing you antidepressants that it should not be happening because they are not the specialists in the field. It should be phychiatrists He hit back saying general practitioners have some training in the area and only refer when it gets more complicated or a more severe case they can't handle... Or that in some cases accessibility is an issue because there's not enough phychiatrists for everyone or some people can't afford one Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn t know **** Not sure if you have had experiences for getting mental health care. In my experience you have to be a complicated case to get referred to a psychiatrist. I live in a country where general practitioning doctors either give you a referal for mental health care through a psychologist/professional in the field of mental health affiliated with the GP in question. They will help diagnose, and the doctor will prescribe any anti depressive medication or other neurotic medication if needed. Any overly complicated mental condition is usually handled by psychiatrists (think combinations of schizophrenia, psychoses, MPD, Megalomania, etc). So he's not far off really. And each country has a different standard for what a doctor can or cannot do. I know the US has usually pretty broadly educated doctors and nurses, compared to some other countries.

TSUNAMI 21,297 Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Dr. Mike - take a freaking seat. If you're not a psychiatrist you shouldn't be prescribing any medications. Would you like to be operated by pediatric doc instead of the surgeon? NO! US needs better healthcare system. More solidarity. 13 hours ago, Economy said: Gaga said that if your family doctor is prescribing you antidepressants that it should not be happening because they are not the specialists in the field. It should be phychiatrists Correct! Family doctor can send you to the exam. Family doctors should act like a triage. Period. They have vague knowledge about everything, enough for them to determine to which exams should patients be sent and later on, after exams the specialist doctor (for the field) can prescribe the medications. Dr. Mike is as good doctor as is Dr. Phil. Cash me outside how bout dat? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jollibee 3,179 Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Of course they will side with Dr. Mike since Gaga said something against Family Doctors about mental health.

Dr. Mike is as good doctor as is Dr. Phil. Cash me outside how bout dat? By ur reasoning fam doctors shouldn't prescribe anything for anything and only specialists deal with it all... Issue is there aren't enough specialists to deal with everything Mental health in particular has surging demand and some in the US can't even afford them. If fam doctors are supposed to not get involved, some people aren't getting treatment period U should think about all angles and factors at play before telling doctors to take a seat Plain and simple. For some people it's going to be primary practitioner, or nothing at all Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioIsOurs 13,876 Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Does it really matter though? If Gaga can maybe learn something from this, and maybe the public can also learn something more about mental health and take part in the discussion around it, isn't that a good thing?
