Part of the problem is the therapists (and medical practitioners in general) are often forbidden from doing the thing they were trained to do for a variety of reasons: risk and liability, patient turnaround, standardization. These things can get in the way of doing the right thing in the times where that is known. That’s before considering the ambiguous cases.

Want to prescribe medication because you think it is the best treatment -> insurance company says no

This happens literally millions of times per day.

Therapists do no prescribe medication, because they are not doctors. You need a psychiatrist or other doctor for that.
