I've had family doctors notice that I seemed a bit anxious and offer me an antidepressant, so this article doesn't surprise me at all. I will say, though, that many psychiatrists--particularly the younger ones--will diagnose some kind kind of anxiety or mood disorder and push antidepressant and antipsychotics quickly, too. I don't know that there's really that much of a difference in actual prescribing habits, but shrinks do see more difficult cases and they have diagnoses justify to their behavior.
