I’m very anxious. I have a doctors appointment in the morning with a new psychiatrist. It’s need a few years now since I’ve seen a doctor. The first time I went to a doctor without being on medication or anything, I was forced into a hospital. I’m worried it’ll happen again.

Generally most psychiatrists deal with meds..there are a few who do therapy but they are expensive. If you aren’t taking meds why see a psychiatrist.?

Most Pdocs are no longer affiliated with hospitals so are not inclined to hospitize people. So unless you tell them that you are a danger to yourself or others they are most likely to listen and then whip out their prescription pad to write scripts for meds.

I hope your appointment goes well. It's always difficult seeing someone new. But hopefully it will be a helpful appointment. Are you looking to get on meds?

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
