The first Psychiatrist I saw when all this first started was probably the best in that he seemed passionate about what he did, was willing to talk to me about any new treatments and was up to speed on them, seemed to believe what I told him and just had a general enthusiasm and optimism which was infectious. He was the best as far as approach goes but like my mother said, he was private and was getting a lot of money out of it so he was being paid for his time and willingness to go along with some of what I wanted.
Ideally I would like to see a psychopharmacologist who worked closely with a therapist who I was also seeing (like Phillipa said). Unfortunately, we don't seem to have psychopharmacologists here in the UK and definately not on the NHS. The therapists we have here in the UK don't seem to work closely at all with the psychiatrists and neither seems to know what the other is doing. It's crap!
