I actually have two Ts (one CBT and one psychodynamic) and a pdoc. The pdoc sees me for 15 mins and is fairly useless because I have had terrible reactions to medications he has given me...and there have been a lot I have tried. He of course doesn't have much else to offer. I now have a new one to try and I will be his first patient to try it. Woo hoo.

15 minutes is the longest I get for an appt with the pdoc...he does do therapy with some patients. I needed another T when I first started seeing him, but he said he had no time for another psychotherapy patient. Now I am so grateful...as a pdoc I can stomach him but as a T I don't think I could stand him.

Oh, and my now ex-T recommended my pdoc. I think my pdoc does the best he can as I am a terrible patient because of my reaction to meds. He seems to have a ton of patients and does listen to what I have to say. He is a little dry but I think psychiatry as a whole is odd so I don't expect much. My last pdoc was horrible. This one is at least nice, empathetic, and listens to me. He does focus more on my depression than I would like when I really really need help with my anxiety, but there are a lot more drugs out there for depression, soo....
