> Absolutely, Sly, yes to everything you said below! Although I saw an excellent psychiatrist who helped me immensely when I was very depressed about 30 years ago , that was before they all began to think that medication was all it takes to help a mentally ill patient. Since those times, the explosion of psychotropic medications has changed psychiatry, and, may I add, not for the better! I agree that psychologists are much better therapists than psychiatrists today.

I'm glad you are feeling so much better and doing well.

Cheers,

Get a new doctor.

> I see my family Doc for my meds, and a psychologist, not psychiatrist for my head. The result has been wonderful. I had friends and family who saw psychiatrists, they all said they were awful and no help at all, they wouldn't talk to them, only prescribed meds and didn't seem to care about how they were feeling mentally or physically. In fact, even my family doc said don't bother going to a Psychiatrist.
