[quote=Anonymous]A therapist needs to be a psychiatrist to give you meds. There are medical causes of anxiety (eg hyperthyroidism) so it's probably a good idea to get checked out by a GP. Some GPs will give anxiety meds, but I think often in a metro area like DC they outsource this kind of thing to psychiatrists. Psychiatrists in theory should do rule outs of medical causes of psych problems through blood tests etc, but in my experience this is almost never done.[/quote]
