I really don't like my psychiatrist, he has all the therapeutic warmth of a dead fish, but I'm sticking with him because he's competent and thorough, and manages my meds really well. Plus up here it's really hard to get a pdoc - there's a shortage, and I don't want to start over at ground zero. Plus he works out of my city's major psych hospital, and it's an advantage to me to be a patient in the system there, because if I need a referal for extra treatment, like when I needed to go IP this summer, it happens a lot faster for me. Fortunately he's agreed that I don't need to see him weekly anymore, and that we can go to every other week.
