hey - i realize it's difficult to generalize, but has anyone here found that there were advantages/disadvantages to consulting with a psych prof?
i took a mild xanax overdose last week out of sheer desperation. my family was pushing for hospitalization, but since i had no intentions to die, my psychiatrist has decided to refer me to a renowned university professor for a second opinion on my med regime.
i had an (admittedly wise) GP once warn me that simply throwing more and more money (or meds) at a situation isn't always in one's best interest. i'm worried that the further up the chain-of-psychiatric-command i go, the more gung-ho they'll be about treatment. has anyone found this to be the case?
