Now, I've been seeing a psychologist for 2.5 years and he has never diagnosed me with anything, which I prefer. My guess is simply that their approach is different and their job is different. If you go see a psychiatrist, of course he will be more focused on medication. This doesn't mean you shouldn't trust your therapist. For me, I prefer someone who believes I can make it without medication and who is more willing to listen to me.

True, I shouldn't be surprised by the psychiatrist being more prone to making a diagnosis, but I was told by both Ts that this psychiatrist is very conservative meaning he doesn't normally give out prescriptions so I guess I was a little shocked given that pre-cursor as well.
