That's right.

Yeah, it's a good one.

Because people get confused.

Yeah.

Yeah, the GPs at the focal points, they're such an important piece of this kind of like the mental health puzzle about how people can seek treatment, get treatment.

But from a GP, they've got to know so much about everything and they do.

But when it comes to specialised mental health care, you know, that's what they refer out.

So they refer to the psychologist to do the therapy.

So psychologists can't prescribe.

We've seen, you know,

dozens, hundreds, thousands of people on different medications.

So we've got a pretty good sense of how it shows up in people, the lived experience from hearing people's narratives and stories.

So we can kind of help a little bit in that way, but we don't have expertise in that area.

We can't really make good judgments or make prescribing decisions.

So that's where a psychiatrist comes in handy.

And a psychiatrist do lots of different things, but one of the things they do is medication management.

And because they're focused specifically on mental health,

That's where they got their nuance and their expertise and that's where their specialty can be particularly helpful.

So if you're considering medications and you've been on them for quite a while or you're on some and it hasn't worked, for sometimes people want to see someone with that expertise to really start again or look afresh.

The other thing people sometimes need to do is taper off medications, and that can be particularly tricky.
