It's my feeling that I broke something. I do have a therapist and pdoc. And, yes, perhaps it is time for a change. But it is hard because this pdoc has really contributed to therapy in an unintended way. I will be asking about if he's seeking counsel himself. I just found it very odd that he would use the word 'dangerous.' It confuses me because I have no idea what he means. I think he's stumbling around as far as acting like a therapist goes, but he is a good pdoc and thinks differently than others which has lead to some good, but maybe uncommon, drug combinations for me. The real hard part is not knowing if I can find another one like him with the same philosophies about mental health. At least he treats me like a person and interacts with me and has a relationship with his patients - whereas other pdocs just dish out the meds and don't always bother to 'know' who they're treating beyond their symptoms. We are more than the sum of our symptoms - and treating symptoms is not the same as treating us.
