Is that your personal observation, or is it a question for philispohical debate? I would call it a science based upon clinical trial and observation, but still clearly in the realm of medicine. They are still called "medical arts" are they not? However, as medicine must be prescribed to achieve the desired chemical changes in brain chemistry, how can it not be a prescription? If your point is that GPs are NOT the best docs to be delving out psychoactive drugs, I totally agree with you. It took my Pdoc about 4 months to come up with the right meds for me. Few GPs would have that much time, patience or experience, as most of what they learn is from literature or a posteriori or emperical experience.
