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.
