a few years ago when i was 15 and an in-patient my psychiatrist was also my therapist and he was good at both. after i stopped seeing him i was assigned a psychologist for therapy and at the same clinic a psychiatrist for medication management. the next psychiatrist i saw mainly just prescribed medications

i now see a private psychologist and avoid psychiatrists and have my GP prescribe my medications.

i think ideally it would be nice to have the same person doing therapy and prescribing medications but from my experience local psychiatrists are just not as good as psychotherapy as psychotherapists. plus without much government assistance it would be too expensive for me to see a psychiatrist weekly. plus to find someone who you click with that also have a amazing knowledge about psychiatric medications is hard. I would prefer to have 2 of the BEST healthcare professionals then 1 mediocre / above average one
