Like Racer, I see a psychopharmacologist and a psychologist.
You'd think my pdoc was a neurologist tho ... my first few sessions with him -- or even now, if a problem arises -- he'll ask some questions about how it presents itself and say something like "that sort of anxiety arises from this part of the brain and requires X medication according to studies". Whatever sort of "map" there is regarding mental disorders and the brain he knows it, and he knows what meds generally are active in that area. It ain't perfect, but he's better than anyone else I've seen for meds.
