Words from experience: 1)A good GP won't give you psychiatric meds usually unless it is very temporary. They know their limitations. 2)Some insurance plans discourage doctors from recommending a specialist. 3)Read everything you can. It is up to you and your husband (when he is stable) to know more than your psychiatrist. Never go in uninformed. It takes time and experience to build up knowledge but a lot of what goes on in a psychiatrist's office is up to the patient. 4) If possible, go to a large university for treatment at first. Those doctors tend to be up on the research and very smart.
