Do you like your pdoc?
Do you get along with him/her?

I like my doctor, she’s the best psychiatrist I’ve ever had, and I’ve had quite a few.

Honestly I trust her judgement

I don’t know what I’d do if she retired

I’m happy with my current pdoc. She’s my 3rd one in 12 years.

The first one wanted me to dive through a membrane in a swimming pool to reconstruct my birth.

The second one believed I was permanently disabled and that very little improvement was possible.

My current one believes I can improve and has a recovery vision on sz.

I haven’t met my new pdoc. I have a phone appointment next month. I have not even spoken with him yet. Good thing I am stable, because my mental health care sucks.

I am about to see a new dr next week. My current dr is retiring. Mostly drs make me nervous and freeze up. What’s that called? White coat syndrome? Oh boy :grimacing: What a problem to have!

I had my first appointment on Monday. It was a phone appointment. He seems alright. I don’t even know what he looks like. I guess I should be grateful I have mental healthcare.

My guy, pdoc seems like a good person, though he does come with some traits but everyone is different!

I go to mental health clinic. My pdoc doesn’t work there or only works with children now idk. So I’ll have a new one but haven’t met him or her yet. I’ve liked all my doctors. They work with me. The only problem is it’s hard to get through sometimes. I only see one every six months. I see my therapist weekly though.

My current psychiatrist is now seeing patients on a part time basis.
I have a feeling she’s going to retire soon
She plans on doing a lot of traveling.

I don’t know what to do if she retires

Finding a competent psychiatrist is almost impossible where I’m from

He is okay. About the first one to ever do a manual pulse check on me during appointments.

I’m in the VA system in Omaha. Pdocs are always coming and going here. I just got my new pdoc last year. I like her ok because she seems competent.

My psychiatrist was the one to realize I was going into heart failure surprisingly I went to a GP and he said nothing was wrong with me so yeah I love my doctor and I hope she never retires or moves away

I like my pdoc fine. I dont understand the procedures before seeing a pdoc though. why is it necessary me to weigh in before seeing her, for example? Will I be participating in a prizefight upon entry? I half expect for her to be wearing boxing gloves upon my entrance.

Btw, I totally could take her.

She wants to keep an eye on your weight on these antipsychotic meds that cause weight gain.

I love my psych doctor. I’m worried he’s retirement age. I’m waiting for the call telling me he’s retiring. Gawd I hate change.
