I too find it much easier to write than to talk. I also find it helpful because I am better able to prepare for the appointment. If I write it down I tend not to forget what I want to talk about.
I have figured this all out via experience. I used to get very mad at myself for forgetting or not being able to talk about things. I don't get mad anymore.
Also, my psychiatrist, who I see once a month is better able to see exactly how med changes have helped or hurt me. Rather than me trying to remember everything I experienced in the past month.
