I feel for you, gayleggg. I recently had to change psychiatrists due to insurance reasons, and the differences between the two of them are like night and day. That doesn't mean I don't like the new one, who reminds me of Mister Rogers and is very knowledgeable about bipolar. But my former pdoc had studied me at length, and there was a lot of good-natured banter between us along with the serious stuff, and I miss that. I can't imagine my new guy teasing me about the stupid toucan shirt I bought during a manic episode sometime back. But I think eventually I'll be able to give him my trust, and I'm going to give him a good chance to earn it.
