Does a Psychiatrist Just Prescibe Meds or Will They Also Counsel You?
Question by redhead.1962: Does a psychiatrist just prescibe meds or will they also counsel you?
I do feel I need to see someone whose job it is to prescribe and monitor antidepressants and my well being, but will the psychiatrist actually counsel me, spend time talking with me to learn about what “makes me tick” or will I have to also find someone else to help with “talk therapy”. I can’t afford multiple doctors and counselors, but I’m beginning to feel I do need to start talking with someone. My thoughts have begun to drift towards dying, not necessarily committing suicide, but not really caring if I live or die.
