can prescribe medication to a psychologist or a psychiatrist
Your online psychiatrist can prescribe medication for you. The psychiatrist must be licensed in the state where you are located. Psychiatrists are physicians who can prescribe medications as well as facilitate psychotherapy and other treatments for mental health problems. Online psychiatrists evaluate and treat patients via secure internet videoconferencing (telemedicine or tele-psychiatry).
While a psychologist's responsibility can include involvement in limited aspects of a patient's medications, the patient's physician is the only person who may lawfully prescribe the medication for the patient.
