I see my Pdoc through a Government run clinic, and he does therapy with me (anywhere from 20-50 minutes depending on what I need at each session). He also encourages complementary treatments such as meditation, yoga, and fish oil. Haven't started on the fish oil, because of the cost, but I'm definitely seeing benefits from the meditation and yoga.
I feel like I've made more progress with him in the past few years than I've made with any other Pdoc or T in the last 20 plus. Yes he also prescibes/recommends medication in my case, which I make the choice to take, but if that's all he did (ie throw pills at me) I wouldn't still be seeing him.
