Can a nurse practitioner prescribe psychiatric medication in Connecticut?
A direct answer, plus the context behind it.
Short answer
Yes. In Connecticut, licensed psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can independently evaluate, diagnose, and prescribe medication for mental health conditions.
This includes common medications for anxiety, depression, ADHD, and other psychiatric conditions, prescribed after a full evaluation.
A board-certified PMHNP (PMHNP-BC) has completed the training and certification specific to this scope of practice.
