I admit that I didn't read all the posts on this thread, so pardon me if I'm repeating something. But I just want to say that visits with psychiatrists are now just for the purpose of medication management, so they don't last very long. If someone wants therapy, then they need to see a therapist--for maybe something like 50 minute sessions. Therapists are social workers, counseling psychologists, or clinical psychologists normally. It didn't used to be like this, but not surprisingly, the mental health field is now screwy this way.
