> Psychiatrist (a D.O.) who does both. I see him weekly for therapy and within that time we discuss the meds I'm on when necessary. I like the one-stop shopping, and I think he knows better what's going on with me and meds because he sees me every week and can tell the difference between med problems and mind problems when there are problems beyond the current. Don't know if this makes sense.

I used to see my psychiatrist in therapy but stopped that a few years ago and started seeing a woman therapist (Phd). I'm still in touch with my psychiatrist on meds issues and he stays in touch with my therapist also. I think it's helpful that he has so much history with me now. He's pretty close to retirement and I've given some thought to what I'll do when he does fully retire. I'm pretty sure I'll find another psychiatrist, perhaps one with more of a psychpharm bent than him. I can't imagine dealing with all of this with my family practitioner. Those folks just don't seem to have the time. ksvt
