In defense of gynecologists--they are primary care physicians, just as internists and family practitioners. Most have done advanced work in psychopharmacology and are highly qualified to prescribe antidepressants. Reputable physicians of all sorts know when to refer to specialists and do so regularly--including to psychiatrists, psychologists, therapists, etc. It's true that I am married to a very well-respected gynecologist, so I suppose I'm a little biased.
