“Do you feel guilty?”
My new one asked me that and I didn’t know why. Maybe he knows something about me that I don’t know? I said no because I don’t think I do. Well sometimes I feel a bit guilty if I can’t take care of things around the house. Maybe I should have said yes?
Nope, First visit there is always a curious question. I think.
Nope. Never been asked that. Psychiatrists should keep their nose out of psychology in my opinion.
I agree. Just give me my meds and I’ll talk to my therapist about the other stuff
Mine asked me if it was because I am anxious so…
It was not my first time seeing him when he asked similar question. Psychiatry is not always specialized. Psychiatrist many times end up doing heavy lifting done by other mental health professionals. They have to as part of practicing psychiatry. Many of their methods are derived from psychoanalysis. They are not plain psychopharmacologists.
Where I am from clinical psychologists are even rare compared to psychiatrist. They have to do all kind of non-psychiatric work. Career guidance. Family and marriage counseling.
@everhopeful @Owl82 That is real naive assumption. Guilt is more likely to be associated with mood disorder like depression and bipolar. Or schizoaffective. He might need to add antidepressants/mood stabilizers for it. He is better judge for it.
Same, last time I tried the private clinic down the road, they said all their psychologists were full.
No, my psychiatrist has never asked me that.
Absolutely not in my opinion. There is a “psych” in “psychiatrist”; the field of psychiatry has everything to do with the psyche and with psychology. Psychopharmacology is just a way to affect the psyche indirectly through pharmacotherapy.

You answered honestly. That’s perfect.
I guess he’s just trying to assess things about your mind so he can prescribe correctly.
I agree wholeheartedly with @schizornot .

Constant guilt feelings are a symptom of depression. I think it’s a relevant question to ask, especially to assess whether negative symptoms are due to Sz or depression.
