> I have been getting treatment for Panic Disorder for the past 7-8 years and my new psychiatrist is cool. I was telling her about some bad job experiences from the past and that I am currently unemployed. I have been on interviews etc.., but I am looking in another field.

> She told me that there are alot of issues that she thinks I still have with my family? Whats new? I hope that this will be constructive and not some technique to get me in for weekly sessions?

> Has any had any CBT for being neurotic? She told me that she is an oddball to and is going to try and help me with my career, but it was kind of scary when she told me I have some serious issues to work out?

> jdajda,
Your doctor may have been using the term to define where you are, i.e., versus "psychotic" or "disordered". The best thing to do is just to ask her.
