Several states do allow properly educated and certified psychologists to
prescribe psychoactive drugs. What's the problem with that when you recognize
that psychologists are required to have far more education on psychoactive meds
than most medical schools provide for their medical students in all drug
categories. Personally, I will probably never qualify because I'm not willing
to go back to school to get that kind of certification, but I know that there
are some out there who would be as good or better than those who prescribe most
of the psychoactive meds in our country, that being family practice or internal
medicine physicians.

We have an obligation and a responsibility to be investing in our students and
our schools. We must make sure that people who have the grades, the desire and
the will, but not the money, can still get the best education possible.
- Barack Obama
