just to clarify something...
psychiatrists do not get to the root of the problem. usually you're appointment is less than 20 minutes and their job is to observe, diagnose and prescribe. then the rest of your appointments are basically for "med checks", to see how you're coming along.
if you want to sit and "talk" and really dig deep into your past and stuff like that, and get to the bottom of your behavior, then you need to go see a psychotherapist or a "psychologist". they aren't even able to prescribe drugs...the only time they usually do, is if they see that you are very depressed or very anxious and that you really need them...then they refer you to a psychiatrist who will get you the meds.
i went through a short period of time where i was depressed/anxious like 5 years ago, and i figured that out right away. i ended up not taking any meds or anything...my problem was completely in my control, so i got rid of the boyfriend.
but yea, there's a difference guys...just so you know. i think everyone could benefit from talking to a therapist...those are the ones who charge an arm and leg though...i would too, if i had to sit and listen to everyone gripe all damn day!
