thanks for the explanation.
right now i don't know whether or not i want to be an licsw (licensed clinical social worker) who practices therapy or a psychiatrist who prescribes meds.
then again, i could do both since there are some psychiatrists who prescribe meds and provide therapy.
having said that, i'm leaning more towards being a psychiatrist (given my background in medical transcription and related study of meds and medical conditions as well as personal experience with mental illness).
