Exactly the same procedure for me -- "Come in, Come in, how are you?" -- "suicidal thoughts? mood swings? sleep? appetite? Ok, Take this to the receptionist. Have a nice day."

A total of 3-5 minutes tops. In my case-- I live in a small town and he's only here like once a month (He travels between 3 different locations), so he gets bogged down with tons of patients at one time. It's no excuse for a elaborate and thoughtful session.. but it happens.

I'm sorry you didn't get a chance to address your concerns to him. Maybe you could write them down next time and start off with you have some things to share first. Maybe that'll catch his attention long enough to actually work with you, haha.
