Of course, I don't know where you live, or how mental health services are provided there.  But where I live about all most psychiatrists do is to prescribe & monitor psych med's. Any-&-all discussion regarding a person's mental health concerns is left to mental health therapists.  So in getting into this, one thing it may be important to be clear about is what you're looking for in terms of services & what type of mental health professional provides those services where you live.
