First time with a psychiatrist... what to expect?

[rapsodya]

Hello! My name is Gabby and I'm new in this forum. The reason why I joined was because 1) My dermatologist suggested me to see a psychiatrist + 2) I really want to connect with other people who suffer anxiety so we can help each other.

As I mentioned it before, my dermatologist suggested me to see a psychiatrist. I suffer from acne and I manipulate it because of my anxiety attacks. I'm terrified to go with a see a psychiatrist. I know it's for my own good, but I want to be sure what to expect and is there anything I can do to be prepared and don't waste time. I've seen 2 psychologist previously, so I'm wondering how the sessions would differ.

I also think I might have OCD, should I mention it?
