No I don't prescribe meds but see them working in some cases and not so much in others. I was trained in a form of cognitive therapy called Rational-Emotive Therapy. It is one of the few psychotherapies well supported in the research. In the long haul and in most cases, I think it is more effective than meds for treating anxiety disorders and most mood disorders as well as behavioral disorders. Some have found it effective in treating schizophrenia. I am not sold on that but haven't worked much with that population since I have been out of hospital work.
