In reply to Your idea of a good psychiatrist+does he/she exist, posted by Shirley on November 21, 2000, at 20:21:21
1. That he/she listens to what I say and believes me, too. In other words, takes me seriously.
2. Will change the med. if and when there is a problem. But I've had to be persistant with this, too.
3. Will be helpful with medical forms and paper work stuff, too.
4. Responsive to phone calls and refill requests by phone.
Then I need to be:
1. Willing to listen to his/her ideas and opinions.
2. Understand he/she, like me, will make mistakes, too, at times.
I learned all this from experience. :-)
