Went too see a psychiatrist today for the first time and am a bit shocked that I was only in there for 15 minutes? Didn't really get to talk about a lot of things, felt very rushed and whenever I spoke he just had this giant smerk on his face. He has recommend that I go back onto medication which I'm completely fine with. I don't know if these things are meant to last that long. But felt a bit let down to be honest.

During this time I phoned the recovery  team a couple of times and saw a nurse who I could talk to. She told me the psychiatrist is more interested in the medication and the effects of it, but also said because I was on the waiting list for psycological services for CBT i shouldn't have input from mental health recovery team except for medication review.
I am now 13 weeks down the line from being on waiting list for CBT and haven't still seen anyone. I feel they have done their little bit and you just have to wait.Â
I have just seen my GP (about something totally different) but he did ask about my mood and told him I was still waiting for CBT he advised me to chase up.
i wouldn't rush back to the psychiatrist I would prefer to see my GP. Have you got a good rappore with your GP if so I would talk to him/ her.

I didn't see him again until he authorised my discharge at the end of the sessions. I think that is often their role today rather than doing any of the actual counselling. x

​Its pointless to see a phycologist or psychiatrist. They are hopeless. Physicians these days are looking at their pockets and their watchs to see when our time is up and they've got the money for their time. All they do is to waste the patients time.
