The second choice.

My psychiatrist is an old fashioned type who schedules 45 minute appointments to talk about symptoms and coping. It's a kind of therapy. He's not the greatest when it comes to proactively adjusting medications and doesn't seem to know about the latest ones. It is me who asked for instance about rexulti and it turned out he had samples sitting in his desk which he had never given out. I can also contact him on his cell even on weekends if I were having a crisis although it has been years since I did that. in retrospect I do think I was crossing boundaries when i would call him because he's in other appointments and in any case not getting reimbursed for phone calls. On the other hand he also has bipolar disorder, so he is a good role model in that sense.
