Im from a public system and you absolutely go to a psychiatrist firsf, lots of psychologists make bank when they cant prescribe anything and to some degree its not a sure thing their dx is a bigboy dx thats enables access to meds
Psychiatrists definitely prescribediagnose . Access to psychologists is far more "boutique" and discretionary. Its like me saying i have (can afford) weekly freudian psycoanalysis sessions or whatever
Theres a huge risk if you go ymthat route you're gonna get gypped
