IMHO, the only reason i can see for
justifying high costs, is overhead
and equipment--if the psychiatrist has
to run a private office. As for counsellors,
they have little overhead if they use their
home, and i have heard of some with a Masters
degree in Social Work, charging more than a physician.I think that if you want a "cheap" psychiatrist
you should use the hospitals, government agencies, and public clinics. They are just
as good and have access to medical colleagues and
specialists, if required, such as endocrinology.Squiggles
