Just wondering about anyone's experiences in going to a psychiatrist. It was my impression that they talked to you for a while, or at least for the entire half hour time for the fee they charge. On my first visit, I was (thankfully) given two scripts for meds and advised to seek psychological counseling . . . which I am undergoing at present, with not much luck for my core anxiety. On my second visit, lasting not more than 10 minutes, I was just questioned how the meds were working, given another script and out the door in ten minutes, but was charged for the entire 1/2 hour . . . same for the third visit!
Is this how psychiatrist visits go? I wondered, although to me what I experience is debilitating, it wasn't grand enough to take up her time?
Thank you for any enlightenment . . . I am disappointed, to say the least, and after four and a half months, I am still over the top with anxiety for my initial problem that caused me to seek help.
