They can but a psychiatrist would probably give a better diagnosis then your internist

Re: what type of specialist would you go to if
If you go to a psychologist, they cna reccomend meds for your regular doc to prescribe, but I think psychiatrists are the best because they know the drugs better than a PCP does

I agree. PCPs will prescribe but they have more of a vested interest in physical rather than mental health. They may not monitor medication with as much dedication as a mental health professional. I speak from personal experience. It can be dangerous when patients go off of meds prematurely as symptoms can and do return at a faster rate.
