Psychologists are trained to address mental health issues, conduct assessments, and provide therapy, but determining the correct medication dosage is typically the responsibility of a psychiatrist or other medical doctor, not a psychologist. This is because prescribing medication requires a medical degree, which psychologists do not have unless they also hold an MD or similar qualification.
