For real. The “works for me so you are a liar” vibes in this comment section is making me sad.

If he or she is still licensed, report them to the state medical board. They should be referring people to a psych specialist anyway.

I am not in the US.

And no, that’s not our system, a ped will consider the information provided by a psych, but generally someone from allied health or a GP will have already referred to various professions before they see the ped.
