Bro- my psychiatrist doesn’t like to hear my trauma, and doesn’t stay on the phone for more than 5-10 minutes per month. I’m not sure who you’re using but I’m kinda jealous

Hey! I’m OP of the original post. So this is honestly exactly why I switched to a new psychiatrist because my other one was exactly like that. She’d ask the most generic questions whenever we met (it’d be once every 3 months btw 😭) so she’d never ask anything in depth about me and it’d just be for like 5 mins. I’m really hoping for the best with this new girl and I’m hoping for the best for u too 🙏

Honestly this is why it’s better to still have a therapist to talk to, psychiatrists are MDs, they should be able to talk more but their primary job is med dosing

There must be a better way to see doctors than having to re explain the lore

I had the same experience and I switched to a completely different psychiatrist. It’s so much better

Thanks. I’m just struggling because I’m in college out of state so I need a dual state certified doctor person. One and a half more years til I’m full time though!

Type a doc of your lore then. Treat it like a college assignment. Everything your new care provider needs to know about you. Hand it to them when you guys initially meet and give them the week to read it and follow up with them next time ?

Psych for pills, therapist for trauma. Got it!

Yeah that’s why I was so happy to switch to a new one! My other one that I’ve been with doesn’t feel like much help
