Don't get me wrong, I like my pdoc (psychiatrist) he's great but I usually walk out feeling like I've been put through one of those old fashioned dryers!
They ask lots of questions about everything and anything. But I've found that they aren't as gentle as a therapist, counsellor or psychologist (T). That may just be my pdoc but I guess they are under more of a time pressure than the T. I have 1/2 hour pdoc visits while I have an hour for T visits (not that I go anymore).
My current pdoc is very good with meds so we spend a lot of time discussing and changing that as required.
