If at this point seeing your Primary Care doctor would help you feel more comfortable, then you are perfectly in your right to go that route. The only thing I would keep in mind is Primary Care doctors being limited in their scope and are not willing to prescribe certain medications, but each doctor varies according to their own comfort level.

I can completely understand the whole "social control" aspect and discouragement that it seems nobody is 'cured' according to a lot of these Psychiatrists, especially in mental health clinics. Of course, there are Psychiatrists out there who have a recovery-oriented approach, but it's a matter of finding them. Today, I was labeled by my counselor as "sick starting in childhood." These labels aren't very promising.

I say, go for it, if you'd like to try the primary care doctor route....as long as you feel you are getting enough care. There's always the option of finding a regular Psychiatrist again, if you feel the need. Just my two cents.
