I have an appointment in around an hour with a new psychiatrist. That is good. My former one was being a pain. He didn't respond to questions of mine, he always wished to set the tone for the appointment, meaning he didn't listen to my questions or anything like that, he never addressed my questions, even though I asked them multiple times, and I am done with this sort of treatment. Why does psychiatry have to edify itself so much? What I mean is that psychiatry edifies a person. Meaning psychiatrists feel like they have to "do science" in order to treat a patient. No, not in all cases. I think that psychiatrists would be well, maybe even better off, if they learned how to listen to their patients. Meaning that they would be served by the practice of listening, instead of speaking. I think I got in about thirty words or so in my last psychiatry appointment. I'd so much rather be the one saying most of the stuff. Of course the professional needs to respond and show his or her knowledge of the matter at hand, but I felt totally unheard. Maybe that's why I am a psychiatric critic (that does not mean I am a skeptic of the psychiatric medicines, that is not what I mean). I just like to philosophize about psychiatric care in general and how it evolves, how it devolves, etc. Regardless, I am looking forward to seeing someone new finally, as (I think) he knows what he's doing.
