In my experience you see pdoc every 1-3 months for 15 min. In that 15 min they have to find out what is truly going on with you and prescribe meds that will help. Some are harsh, some are nice but you have to get to the point fast just like a regular dr. I find the best way to do it is have a therapist that works with the dr see you. Usually the pdoc gets a little blurb from your therapist about how they think your doing which helps.
