> As a clinical psychology student, I may be biased towards psychologists rather than psychiatrists; however, I agree with Sara. I psychologist can spend more time getting to know your son than many psychiatrists can, and can even conduct testing which can aid in diagnosis. If medication is warranted, then the psychologist can collaborate with a psychiatrist, as a psychologist cannot prescribe medication (unless you are in New Mexico).

psychologist going to help a floridly psychotic person in the first visit ? Manic phase BP ?
