Is it possible that the younger the doc, the less cynical s/he is?
If I were a pdoc, had seen what they see for 25 years, I would know a lot, would be able to make some leaps from experience. SOme of those leaps woul dbe right on target, some would be a little askew.
My T is a psychiatrist, praticing for about nine years, I think, and tried to get me to take meds for the first four years I saw him, and when I finally did - in the face of crisis - I began to feel better. He was right. I don't know if it was the right time and place for me to start meds or if I would have felt better years before if I had taken meds. A lot happened at once. But that's when I started to feel better. He is also a great therapist.
My husband's psychiatrist taught him to meditate, is very into the psychological side of things, too. He is not too keen on meds unless they are necessary. He's about 75 years old.
There's my contribution to your research! :-)
