Best answer:

Answer by nina
I am not a doctor but I know a family doctor can perscribe depression meds and treat you, If they feel it is too much for them to handle they will refer you to a psychologist but they are not legally obligated to.

Answer by fozzy40
No, but family docs will frequently do this if they feel it is necessary. Remember, the medication is only part of the solution. The medication only really treats the physiological reaction your body is having to your mood. Psychological treatment usually addresses the behavioral and cognitive aspects of your anxiety/depression. The two work great together!
