My psychiatrist is retiring in June. I've been seeing him once a week for years. I like him and trust him completely. I know I can go in and tell him anything without the fear of being judged or shipped off to the mental hospital. I liked that he did therapy as well as prescribing meds. Now I've got to start all over with a stranger and I'm not sure how to pick a new doctor. He gave me some names that he would recommend and I'm going to call but what questions should I ask when I call ? I wish I knew someone with similar issues as me that could recommend a psychiatrist that has helped them. ANy ideas ?

I usually go with centers so I don't pick my doctor. Find one that's good with all your dxs.
Ask what gets you hospitalized? Be upfront with how you are when your not well.
