It's funny how some of us might make a trip all across town to get to our favourite dry cleaner place, or our fav restaurant, but accept the first or second psychiatrist or doctor when looking for someone to guide us with our livelihood and mental health treatment.Like Andrew Solomon wrote in "The Noonday Demon" "If you think you are smarter than your pdoc, you likely are!". Any one of the above MAY be good, but really, just look for a GOOD doctor. One who doesn't have a 'God' complex, and thinks their word is the final answer on everything. Some of us even have absolutely AMAZING GP's who are far better then their Pdocs. Unfortunately, it's all a bit of a luck-of-the-draw. Don't let THEM get the best of you.
Best wishes...
