I have been seeing my general practitioner doc for psych meds for about a year now. I keep feeling like I should be seeing a psychiatrist, but my doc says she can handle it.

Do folks have an opinion as to whether a GP can handle someone with Bipolar I and PTSD - handle their med management, or whether I should find a psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse practitioner? I originally started seeing her because the wait to see a psychiatrist was 3-4 months long, and I can get in to see her in a week.
