Why did you pick this particular psychiatrist? I thought you were concerned about your depression; I would have looked for a psychiatrist that specialized in depression or mentioned medications if that is what you want to try?

Some psychiatrist are therapists too and others just see you for 15-20 minutes for medications and to check up on you once a month or so, see how the medications are doing.

Often the medications can help one get more out of therapy, they sometimes work better together than either one alone. I think a new psychiatrist or doctor are going to ask a few questions rather than have you "start talking" without knowing some of your background first.
