Hello,
Last week was my first visit and it was mostly filling out forms and giving her a brief background of what brings me there. I know it's too soon to really understand much. This is the first time I've been to a psychiatrist.
I've been reading alot of other's posts here and trying to get a better grasp on what to expect.....

Is it just me? Or is it 'normal' to feel this way ..... I just sorta got the feeling that she doesn't really care much for me ..... she seems 'cold' and distant. Is the first visit supposed to go that way?
Neither one of us knows anything about each other, so I answered all her questions respectfully and honestly.
She gave me a few papers to take home ...."Welcome to my practice, etc" and it describes what my rights and obligations are.

I dunno....it just sorta seemed like I was conversing with a robot or something. If I didn't give direct answers to her questions, she would cut me off ....sorta reminded me of how lawyers are when a person is on the witness stand ...
Example: "About how many times a week do you get anxiety?".......Well, I guess it kinda depends on..... and then she'd cut in "HOW MANY, as in ONE, TWO, FIVE?"

Is this the way it's supposed to be??
