Shrinks in it for the $$$
First of all, I don't care for shrinks. They only care about pushing drugs and have not the least bit of interest in you. They need to find a problem with your brain so they can push the drugs. I went to get a script for a medication I have been on that really helped me (controlled). I was required to get a clearance letter from my primary/cardio. (I don't have a cardio) Turns out it wasn't enough. This is 3 visits in. Long story short, they wanted me to come IN person and go see ANOTHER DOCTOR (cardio) even though I had not been followed by cardio (VA) for over 12 years! They claim it was for my "safety", even though I have been on this med for 4 years! So no, they will try to scam you into unnecessary visits and push drugs on you that you already know won't work, and/or use you as a guinea pig and try them all. I fired her as soon as she said, "I need to see you in person.", Why? I had already given her my Primary care and Cardio clinic letters stating there was no contraindication. I am falling apart after three months off my meds. Get a psychotherapist. Shrinks don't listen to you; they just push their agenda on you $$$
