- jacques_chester 6y agoPerhaps I can rephrase it. Psychiatrists are aware of multiple organic causes for depressive symptoms and would prefer to treat the causes, not just the symptoms. It's not accurate to say that a psychiatrist would be expected to simply prescribe an antidepressant without some additional investigation.
