A thorough history on your own mental illness in addition to any physical health issues and meds and med reactions. It could take a long time depending.

I generally enjoy talking to my pdoc more than the therapist. The pdoc, instead of putting me under some psycho scope, has a very pleasant dialogue with me. He gives me a lot of feedback on things not med related. It always just feels like a nice conversation and he gives me a different spin on things. When I have follow-up appts they are always an hour at least and it seems to fly by. He asks about my family (dysfunctional) about my work (emergent trauma team at the same hospital) etc etc. He succinctly describes people's behaviors in different ways than I've thought of -- gives me a lot to think about. I more or less wish he did therapy as well. Shucks.

Good luck..
