I'm currently seeing a psychiatric nurse practitioner for both meds & therapy, but thanks to insurance changing, I have to switch to seeing a psychaitrist and a therapist. I'm trying to figure out how often I'd be seeing the psychiatrist to see how much that's going to cost, to see how much the difference is.

I'm pretty stable now, most meds haven't been changing.
Well, I am far from stable so I can't answer your question. I can however tell you that my experience is seeing both a Psychiatrist for meds and a Therapist seperately from him. I am lucky to have Medicaid that pays for both, so cost wise, I couldn't tell you that.

Glad to hear that you're stabling out there, I am happy for you and wish you all the luck in the world at staying that way! Btw, if you would like to chat sometime, I have the same disorders you have, also with PTSD. 27/f Maybe we could relate?
