Psychologists, psychiatrists, advanced practice nurses (clinical nurse specialists and nurse practitioners), and counselors with specific training in psychotherapy can treat the depressed client. Medical treatment of depression requires prescriptive authority held by psychiatrists and advanced practice nurses, who both have advanced pharmacologic training as well as internists of family medicine practitioners. Dieticians are also involved in the care of these clients as nutrition has been found to play a role in the treatment of depression.
