"I have first hand knowledge in psychotherapy both in Nepal and in USA. By psychotherapy I mean counseling by psychologist (or any other trained person). The person who prescribes drugs is psyhchiatrist."

Just a correction bkb, Clinical psychologists, who are not considered psyciatrists can also prescribe drugs. There are many fields in psychology, counseling psychology being one of them. Please do not confuse counseling psychology as being the sole field of psychology.
