Hey,

I find most pdocs aren't that great at the therapy side, more so meds and diagnostics; but there are some exceptions I guess.

The first meeting is usually the assessment where the history is taken, and risk assessment done. Its good that he seems confident about his meds. Try not to take what he said to heart as he doesn't really know you, hopefully your Therapist can help you see things in a more positive way and give you the reassurance you need
