Hi Sam, my psychiatrist talked with me and gathered up a lot of information before he gave me a script. It also took numerous visits before he discussed exactly what he thought my diagnosis was. He knew what questions to ask and sorted through all of what I said before making a decision. I think he also spent time observing my behavior and how I responded to him--not just what I told him. It was important for me to go in with an open mind and be honest. I am glad I trusted him to help me.
