I see my pdoc about every 6-8 weeks. I see my primary care provider (physical doctor) every 2 weeks since we are working on me losing weight.
I visit once a month over the computer, as well. I get a 29 minute appointment.
Ish, I want you to be seen more than once a year.
Here in the USA, few of our doctors want to see patients. But we import doctors from all over the world.
I see my pdoc 1 to 2 times per mos over video. Session an hour each.
I hope you consider yourself fortunate.
i feel like if i needed to be charged by doctor
it is stressful for me sometime to go to doctor every two months or month!!
I do especially because I also heard since the pandemic it’s been even worst here in the states to get psychiatric help.
Kids who are suicidal can’t even get a bed. Just an article I read yesterday.
I don’t have a pdoc since 7 Jan.
Why do you not have pdoc anymore?
He said I have no positive symptoms so no need for a pdoc anymore. He said I am stable.
Congratulations
Yea but I have bad negative and some cognitive symptoms, they don’t care about those as nothing can be done. He said to live with them as much as I can.
What about quality of life?
You mean negative and cognitive symptoms? He said there is no treatment for those.
I want you to get some psycho social help, Aziz.
I said to my psychiatrist of a few years, I want to talk about sex. He said, “I want to help you any way I can.”
I wish you could find another pdoc. They’re not all like that. Mine would do, and keeps trying, anything to help my depression and cognitive/memory symptoms.
My life is still rather painful.
I see my psychiatrist once a month. I met every two weeks while I was starting clozapine.
I see a pdoc once a month for about ten minutes a session.
