I've had 4. I had one briefly who made the diagnosis but prescribed medications only - apparently the wrong ones because I nearly immediately was hospitalized.

I was assigned a new psychiatrist at this point and saw her for about 2-3mos. I saw her weekly, which actually meant sitting in her office listening to relaxtion music while she did her own business. Not only a waste of my time, but the government's money and I believe she was completely hoodwinking the system. When we DID talk it was all about her; her deadbeat husband, her recipes, and that I ought to accept Jesus in my life. Needless to say, I brought a complaint about her - and actually won.

I have been with my current primary Pdoc now for near 3yrs and I am quite happy.

Finally I just completed a 12wk therapy program with another psychiatrist separate from my primary one. What a difference between the two of them but they are equally terrific.
