There is no point in spending so much time and, presumably, money, on seeing a psychiatrist if you cannot be honest and upfront with him or her. You might as well stop. If you are ashamed to talk, write it down and give him or her the note to read. It might be a therapy issue more so than a psychiatry issue, as turtleboy pointed out, but then the psychiatrist will make recommendations or referrals.

Imagine that your deal with the psychiatrist from now on is:

- you send a check on a regular basis
- you do not come to see the psychiatrist

Weird? but that is what is going on right now - you are paying money while receiving no service.
