I do televideo to a pdoc about 2.5 hours away bc in my city I haven't found anyone good.
They dont take insurance so its $300 for 30 mins.
And it's very worth it. After years of the wrong meds and bad care, I'm happy with this situation.
They have had me drive to the office twice in 3 years, other than that I get all labs done here.

Mine average about 15 minutes or so; I don't feel rushed or anything but we don't do therapy type discussions either, just meds, mood, features, side effects, that sort of thing.

My initial assessment was an hour but since then for medication management it's about 15 minutes. If your psychiatrist shoved you out of the room,didn't address your medication issues or the refill issues, you need to find another psychiatrist.

10-30 minutes. Probably closer to 15 to 25. She always listens to me though so the amount of time isnt really an issue. Shes doing medication checks, not therapy, and thats plenty of time for that.
