Thanks for these responses

Wow! See, I guess this shows how confused I really am!
At one point I asked her what is the difference between psychiatry and psychotherapy and she said it's the same thing
It's a very uneasy feeling NOT knowing for sure why I'm there....I mean, I just don't 'get it' as far as ..... how can ANYbody just see you briefly and then start throwing meds at you according to what 'they' perceived from such an impersonal visit.
Part of me feels like bailing ship.....but I guess that would be a bit premature. I should at least go for the 2nd visit and see how that transpires.

Do most people go on their own accord, or because of a Dr referral?

My pain doc recommended I see this lady because of the stress my chronic pain condition is causing and I'm having to consider throwing in the towel with my job and try for SS disability....
So, it's my understanding that I'm seeing her to help manage my meds and how to deal with the stress/depression which is part of this nightmare that the pain is doing to me.

From our brief time together and the info she gathered, she's somehow decided on 2 possible meds to put me on ??
--- Trazodone
--- Hydroxyzine wth?? The LAST thing I need is to just jump into a new med that I know nothing about....all I have to go by is the 'info sheets' she gave me which describes these meds.

I feel really lost with this. Thank you for your feedback. I guess I just sorta feel like an 'idiot' or something. I mean, I guess it is 'assumed' by all parties involved that I'm supposed to understand what's happening....and I DON'T.

In your opinion and/or experience, do you think I should just blindly take whatever she prescribes, even if I'm not comfortable with it? I mean, am I just supposed to 'trust' that she's the pro and I'm a 'mental case' who can't seem to think for myself? I'm 47 years old. It's pretty humiliating to feel like a 'child'. I used to have a pretty respectful place in society....but now that I'm so down and out, it's almost as tho I'm losing my 'rights' to any dignity that I once had.
I mean, if I had committed a crime or if this were court-ordered or whatever, I could see that it should go this way.....but I'm just a person who's in a real bad place in life right now and seeking help. I'm very humble and willing to do whatever it takes, but since I know absolutely nothing about what's going on (for the most part), I don't know if I should pay heed to the 'red flags' I'm getting.....or just resign myself to the fact that when a person is this down and out, this is how it is supposed to play out??
At my next visit, I'll be up front and let her know everything I've said in this post. She needs to be aware that I really need this explained more clearly to me.
Your feedback is all I've got....other than that 'form letter' from this lady.

Thank you so much
