I recently started with a new pdoc after my much-loved former one left the clinic and went into private practice, where he doesn't accept Medicare. This new one is very direct, yet kind; I can't imagine bantering with him like I did with Dr. Awesomesauce, but he's good in his own way. Dr. A never did diagnose me clearly, but Dr. Goodenough is 100% certain that I have bipolar 1, which is what three other mental healthcare professionals diagnosed me with but I was never quite sure about. ( I guess I was still in denial, lol.) This guy has been a psychiatrist since the '70s so he knows his stuff, and he has lots of ideas for treating bipolar that are evidence-based and up-to-date. He also doesn't nag about exercise. I think he's a keeper.
