I am more comfortable with a male psychiatrist because I am a male.
I once had a beautiful female psychiatrist of my age, 29. I was so shy and stressed that I lied about my symptoms. I made them look better to impress her. I was sweating and ashamed of my symptoms because she will know how I am miserable and will laught at me. Also I can’t talk about my sexual problems with a girl.
I think my depot Nurse has an innocent little crush on me a bit…but I’ve been seeing her a long time now and we’re both pretty frank with each other about most things.
We’re both of similar ages and life experiences. We still have a good professional rapport together, though.
My psychiatrist is a male and I feel really confortable with him. I don’t mind to talk about sex to him, because for me he is not only a man. He is a mental health proffessional and I don’t feel ashamed when I talk to proffessionals.
so far i had women, but now i will have a man after my last dr. retired. so this will be new for me, my last dr. was ok but nothing special, she got my diagnosis right though so that’s fine. sza bipolar type. i had no problem talking to her about my side effects or anything.
i see the new one may 26th, our first meeting was over the phone because of the covid 19 thing. he is old in his 80s so i wonder how up to date he is. should be interesting.
