In reply to OSTEOPATH for Pdoc?, posted by KimK on March 22, 2000, at 19:36:06
An osteopath is a real doctor. Medical school and everything. But they specialize in the musculoskeletal system. They sometimes specialize in a second field as well. Like my family doctor. He's an osteopath, but is also a MPH. Master of Public Health. He works in a family clinic and deals with just about everything. He's also fairly good with psychiatry, mixing TCAs+SSRIs, Wellbutrin+SSRIs, stuff like that. He's uncomfortable with Lithium or MAOIs, but he's pretty good with basic psychiatry.
