Psychologists: A psychologist can help with a wide array of emotional issues and conditions. Only a small percentage of psychologists in the US prescribe psychiatric medications. I don't know if psychologists in Lebanon are allowed to order psychiatric medications. A psychologist can work with your regular doctor or your psychiatrist if medication is needed.
