I think the key is for some. That I buy. Interesting experience today. Went to endos for 6 month review and while waiting there was an older gentleman in waiting room with a guiding eye dog. Since My Son was blinded in Desert Storm. I decided to start a convesation with him. We exchanged both my Son's and what was wrong with him. His was genetic. Anyway since he was blind his sense of hearing as astute. Come to find out he is renowned four year retired psychiatrist from here. He said he didn't believe in the 15 or 20 minute visit whip out a RX pad and Write. He believe the full hour was necessary as he needed to know his patients well. He began questioning me and I readily answered all his questions reguarding medical conditions the past lymes which he did believe in and know and wanted to know how it had affected me. He immediately after listening to me said ocd same as other doc. Told my husband when went to to appointment how horrible it is to be trapped with panic anxiety inside and how important control is. And that this control kept a person with ocd from dealing with matters to painful to deal with. He said no med would work for me. That a form of CBT for OCD was what he recommended and only two Therapists he knew did it well and correctly. One in Charleston and the other at Emery Georgia. He said that for some reason even he didn't understand therapy had never gained popularity in Charlotte hence the lack of therapists. He knew the doc that had referred me to the one I see and thought the referring doc was best in area. His recommendation was do what I feel comfortable with medwise. But no med can fix all the traumas from childhood and first marriage. So for me this just clarified what I already knew. But his speciality favorite patients had been bipolar and he did say that lithium was the best medication ever for it. That unfortunately since it's dug up even here that it's so inexpensive that it went out of favor. I also loved caring for bipolar patients gratifying when their meds kicked in. So that is my story and true. Phillipa
