Medical Doctors like Psychiatrists, Pediatricians, and Family Doctors can provide medication management for Anxiety Disorders. Physician Assistants and Registered Nurses can also prescribe anxiety medications, but this can vary depending on the state and the specific regulations governing the practice of PAs and RNs in that state. In many states, PAs and RNs have the authority to prescribe medications, including anti-anxiety medications, under the supervision of a licensed physician. In some states, there are advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs) who have the authority to prescribe medications, including anti-anxiety medications, under their own license. APRNs include nurse practitioners (NPs), certified nurse-midwives (CNMs), clinical nurse specialists (CNSs), and certified registered nurse anesthetists (CRNAs). These APRNs typically have completed advanced education and training programs that allow them to provide more comprehensive care, including prescribing medications.
