Three months ago, I started seeing a psychiatrist. Or more like his nurse. The psychiatrist came in and spoke to us for maybe a minute, agreed with the nurse's diagnosis and course of action, and I haven't seen him since. I've had two follow up appointments with the nurse just to check on my progress with the meds and that's it. I have another follow up appointment next month. She indicated that in addition to medication I would need psychotherapy but there has been no mention of it since my first appointment. I feel like I go in, pay my copay, tell her how I've been feeling, she types it up, and then I leave. It's not at all what I was expecting when I sought psychiatric care and I'm wondering if this is standard practice or if this office is just a pill mill. Prior to this, I was treated with medication by my PCP who never once referred me out. When I asked for a referral to a counselor/psychologist/psychiatrist, he gave me a referral for a faith-based one which I'm not at all interested in. I did eventually see a counselor for about a month or two but I feel like I got nothing out of it and spent too much money. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
