Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Since the medication is prescribed, it suggests that the therapist is a medical professional and able to prescribe medication. This narrows the options down to a psychiatrist or a psychiatric nurse practitioner. Option B, psychiatrist, is the most likely choice given the severity of symptoms being described. The other options, such as a podiatrist or counseling psychologist, would not typically be able to prescribe medication for anxiety.
