Wow. I can't imagine only see a pdoc once and then moving on to the next one. You can't build a relationship way, the pdoc only sees you in one state and not in multiple ones so s/he can't properly diagnose or treat you. Plus you then have to remember every med you've been on and every side effect you've had because there is often little communication between doctors. For example, I'm currently coming down from hypomania, and when I saw pdoc yesterday she could see that I had come down a bit from when she saw me last week. But if she had only seen me once, it could have been my normal, and maybe not hypo at all because that's just how I am. (I have a friend that's like that -- totally spastic, energetic, over the top etc. but it's just her being herself).
