I absolutely think psychiatrists should have more extensive psychopharmacology/neurology training. The problem is that in medical school, 99 percent of the material is basic physiology/anatomy etc. Little time is spent exclusively on psychopharmacology, and psychiatry is definately a neglected field, both by big pharma and medical training.

That being said, my psychiatrist is awesome. He and I discuss complex pharmacology and approach my anxiety/depression from a very analytical/empirical POV, which I love bc I'm a neuroscience and Chem dual major at my university. But there are SO MANY ignorant MDs who know literally only undegrad intro psychology level material when it comes to psychopharmacology.
