[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 732302, member: 1550"] I really believe it is individual. You click or not. I am talking just about therapy. Psychiatrists are different. I am very very very careful and question everything because psychiatry is not an exact science. I avoid those who think they can't be wrong when, really, there is no way they can prove they are right. I don't see a psychiatrist anymore. Haven't for over a decade. My NP prescribes medications...I don't want to change them and certainly don't want to increase them and am doing well. I have had some really great psychiatrists (two) and some very scary self righteous and even dangerous ones (two). You want one who admits that this is not yet an exact science combined with one who respects your research and trusts that you know what works for you and what does not. You don't want one with a God complex...not for a Psychiatrist! Interview before committing. The doctor needs to have an open mind. This is my two cents based on my experiences. Others may have different opinions based on thiers. [/QUOTE]
