Psychiatric medications are [[prescription medication]]s, requiring a prescription from a [[physician]], such as a [[psychiatrist]], or a psychiatric [[nurse practitioner]], PMHNP, before they can be obtained. Some [[U.S. states]] and [[U.S. Territories|territories]], following the creation of the [[prescriptive authority for psychologists movement]], have granted prescriptive privileges to [[clinical psychologists]] who have undergone additional specialised education and training in [[medical psychology]].<ref name=Bridget>{{cite web
