From these short replies, I am for you with one exception....
...imho, NO psychiatric drugs should be prescribed for children or adults by a pediatrician or general practioner, or a number of other non-psychiatrist types. Pychiatric drugs are best given when (properly) diagnosed by a psychiatrist. Actually, this could be one reason for over/misdiagnosed children and adults on these very much potent drugs. Those that are not psychiatrists diagnosing these problems are like a dentist performing plastic surgery.
i think the insurance companies are trying to save money by having non-psychiatrists prescribe the meds.
this can lead to all sorts of problems.
there are probably some situations where this makes sense (say, in a rural area where no psychs are in practice), but in general, i think you are right.
