I couldn't have said it better. I think it is worse in the psychiatric field than in the regular medical field. Patients seeking mental health often have a harder time articulating their symptoms. It is easier to say "My toe hurts" than to explain the numbness or agitation, whichever it should be.
A bone is a bone, but a brain is so much more. There can also be hormone factors and other illnesses.Some psy are so into their "tests" that they fail to see the entire person.
I have been very disappointed with the psychiatrists that I have seen. They seem more angry than I do. IMHO
Does anyone else feel that psychiatry has more ego attached to it than other medical fields?
