Hi, sorry to start a new thread just for one quick question, but I didn't want to hijack anyone else's thread.
What is a pdoc? A psychiatrist? I've never seen this term before, but then, I'm pretty new to the forum.

Psychiatrists have to be doctors of medicine: M.D.'s. Psychologists and social workers and others do not have to be M.D.'s.

Yes however, the term is not one used IRL... "PDoc" is a term used online and not at every mental health site either...just so you know
 A psychiatrist has an MD degree with specialty in the mental health field. Some of them also provide psychotherapy. A "T" (therapist) refers to the person who helps you with psychotherapy (talk) and runs the gambit of a licensed PhD, PsyD (psychologist) SW (social worker) or counselor and everything in between. It could also refer to your pastor who is counseling you.
