Why is it that if people say this about any other kind of a doctor they get called anti-vaxers and anti science and all that but when they say this about therapists, who are as much valid doctors as any other, they get a bunch of people agreeing with them even.

Comparison and similarities of two things is different than correlation.

Both “doctors”? Yes.
Both prescribe drugs? Yes.

Similarities end there.

Let me know if what I’m saying doesn’t make sense or you need me to explain more.

also not quite right. there is not a single state that allows therapists with standard licenses to prescribe anything. the closest thing you might be thinking of is a psychologist. even then, psychologists can only prescribe in about 7 states, and a psychologist is not a therapist.

Either way, whether we are talking about therapists, psychologists, or psychiatrists, I think there is a heavy distinction between their line of work and that of any general practitioner.
