That is a big decision and I can see why you would be quite anxious about it! I would imagine that there could be some decent psychiatrists in France as well, although I have no personal knowledge on the topic. I would agree to just do the research and get a good sense of things yourself. If you can find a good treatment team, I'd think that's what's important, regardless of the overall comparison between the psychiatrists in the U.S. versus France. I can understand why you would hesitate to move way from your psychiatrist. I am already thinking about how stressful it will be if I move in the fall, just because my psychiatrist is clearly very knowledgeable and working with me to figure things out that aren't straightforward.
