I actually see two. One is mostly there to check on me and takes care of my medications, the other is a psychotherapist; though, they clearly are in contact and work together.

This topic comes up a lot in my support group discussion. There seems to be a direct correlation between the size of a psychiatrist's practise and the quality of care. Some of those in group only see their pdoc perhaps for 10min every few months. None of them have anything good to say about their experiences. Meanwhile, those of us who see our pdocs on a more regular basis and for say an hour each visit have a much better and positive view of our pdoc, the relationship we have with them, and the positivity of our experience.

Thus, my opinion is you take practice size into consideration - i you can. Perhaps this is where your regular doctor might be helpful.
