I don't think this is all on you, slumber kitty. Even if you were doing great, 2-3 minutes is absolutely negligent for the number of meds you are being prescribed. There is no scenario where that is ok and he is a good psychiatrist. If there aren't a lot of psychiatrists where you live and you can't find anyone else, I would call your insurance and see if they cover telepsychiatry. Then you could see someone else in a different part of your state remotely.

This whole med management piece seems really crucial to improving your situation. I hope you'll look into alternatives to this guy because I think that could make all the difference. This whole wham bam thank you ma'm style of doing things is probably the worst approach possible when you're having issues with minimizing your symptoms. And the appointments are so unbelievably brief that he probably can't even pick up on the fact that you're not ok.
