Male or female psychiatrist?

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.

The “sexual tension” is actually pretty important.

Whatever psychiatrist you choose is up to you, both can provide a good amount of help.

In a healthy environment of course :roll_eyes:

IMO.

Also I can’t talk about my sexual problems with a girl. I feel weak and vulnerable when doing so.

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.

Whatever you are comfortable with is the answer.

Since you can’t talk about sexual things with a female,

You should definitely see a male.

I was so sweating that she asked me why I was sweating. I said its hot but it wasn’t, she saw me as a weirdo. :sweat:

But I hear ya, Aziz.

Talking sex with a female doctor can be awkward for many dudes.

Next apt it was a male. Idk why they transferred me to a male psychiatrist.

I have a male pdoc. Most in this area that take my insurance are male. I have a female therapist.

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.

My psych Dr is male – he does not know wtf he’s doing and I like my old female Dr better …
I am more comfortable with telling issues to women…

Yea its easier to talk with the same sex.

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.

Defo female psychiatrist

I prefer male psychiatrists and therapists for the most part and I am female.

I had sex with my psychiatrist when I was prodromal.

That was my thinking then and I have no proof that it didn’t happen. I might never know the truth…

Did it work out for you in the end ?

I was banging everyone in early 2012. Not by choice, but ‘them’ made me do it.

Your lucky you didn’t get caught up in the madness. You might have been next!

He said he doesn’t know if it happened or not.
I also had delusions about banging my psychiatrist when unmedicated and when my illness started.
