False — Psychologists typically hold doctoral degrees in psychology (PhD, PsyD) and can diagnose and provide therapy. A medical degree (MD/DO) is required to be a psychiatrist who prescribes most medications, though a few jurisdictions allow specially trained psychologists limited prescribing rights.
