Jasper,
I think you may need to educate yourself in the roles of both the psychiatrist and psychologist. Also, I would like to know where u get your information: "PSYCHOLOGISTS OFTEN HAVE PSYCHOLOGICAL PROBLEMS OF THEIR OWN".????

I could go further, but I am restraining myself.

What is the likelihood that PSYCHOLOGISTS - with NO medical background (and often with psychological problems of their own) - will order tests to even monitor the medical health of the patients taking these drugs?
