I agree that psychiatrists don't always make good therapists. I've seen two, and i didn't like their way of dealing with me.

I ended up seeing a psychologist in the end, and she was incredible. She DID talk to me as a human. She didn't throw those platitudes at me, and all those darn statistics, etc. Who cares about that? I want her to talk about me, and what's going on with me. And she did! I got more out of her than I did ALL the other therapists I'd seen thru the years, and there were quite a few.

So I prefer psychologists. Forget the M.D.'s I can get a script from my PC.
