When I use pdoc, I'm referring to my psychiatrist. In my area, it is rare for a psychiatrist to do talk therapy as well...and obscenely expensive if they do. For talk therapy, I see a psychologist. The psychiatrist prescribes my medication, and right now, I'm seeing him for about 20 minutes every 3 months. My first appointment with him was an hour, and then we had weekly 20 minute appointments for the first month, then once a month for a few months, and now I'm at every 3 months. I see my psychologist weekly for an hour.

I do not do any therapy with my pdoc - he's more interested in how the meds are working for me. My T and pdoc do consult with each other and I've given them permission to talk about me as they need to.
