The first psych I went to made me feel like he didn't care and I viewed it as a place to get meds. He was exactly what you guys are describing.

But then I left him because I wasn't satisfied with that... the next one I went to, I happened to have the last appt of his day. It was a longer initial evaluation type visit, and before I even noticed the time he had actually stayed for nearly an extra hour talking with me... he didn't want to charge me for the extra time and he had a wife and kids to go home to. I was totally blown away that he would do that. It's not like he didn't take a good amount of money from me for the 1.5 hour intake appointment, but I really did feel like he understood I was in a lot of pain and that he cared and honestly wanted to help me. So now I believe it is possible to find a good one.
