Seeking Good Psychiatrist

Terry,
I also saw a shrink a couple of years back. I suffer from Anxiety attacks and SAD's. All they did was just stick me on meds.They gave me Zoloft and I also take Larazapam with kills an anxiety attack on the spot, however I wish I never starting taking them. I feel that I am now dependent on my meds to get me through the day. I want to be able to get through life without taking an antidepressant. The doctor said this is something I am going to have to live with for the rest of my life. I say B.S. There has got to be a better way with dealing with this condition. I became shock to find out that there was a lot of people I knew on the meds for the same reason.
I have no clue why you need a shrink, however if you feel that you need to see one then go. Oh one more thing for anyone who does suffer from SAD's The happy lamp also known as the light box really does work.. I feel a great change in my moods after about a week using it. Good Luck on your search...

Don't tell me, let me guess - anger management?

Anyway, we have a lot of experience with the mentally disturbed (as you can see). Again I'll ask - do you need a true psychiatric doctor who can prescribe medication, or merely a therapist who can offer you coping tips? There is a difference and you definitely don't want one when you need the other.


This is so funny.LOL I already have a doctor in Waldorf.Beleive me I know which is which. LOL Im still laughing. I was just asking casue Im considering changing. Mentally disturbed?? Isnt that the term they used about 40 years ago? LOL Anger Management?? Its funny to listen to people talk like they know all about something, when they think you know nothing. Thanks for your help...hhhhhhhmmmmm I will try to figure out which I need. LOL

I hope you feel better Terry lt7 :flowers: It was brave of you to ask such a personal question. Most folks keep things like that to themselves and off of public forums. So it tells me you really want help. Is this for you or a friend? Regardless, I hope you get the answer to your question and things work out for you :smile:

You all have this all wrong. LOL But thanks anyway hun. :yay:

Terry, an awful lot of us on here have been to counseling and the drug quacks, either for ourselves (you're shocked, I know :lol:) or our kids. So it would help if we had a better idea of what the problem is so we don't tell you the wrong thing. You can literally spend thousands of dollars, talk til you're blue in the face and be drugged until you can't move, but it still hasn't solved your problem.

Well, you said "shrink" but that could mean anything from a doctor to a therapist.

I think you should try "forum therapy" - we fixed ol' Tonio right up. Not to mention the dramatic recovery BuddyLee's made. :yay:

Can't do anything about K_Jo, though - she's too far gone. :frown:

And you ask why I asked?I didnt know I had to state that in my post but I will let you in on it. LOL Im considering making a change in docs. :lmao:

A "good" shrink typically specializes. Family therapy, anxiety disorders, marital counseling, childhood trauma. What was good for one person may not necessarily be good for you, and vice versa.

Anyway, good luck to you! :flowers:

I am not a doctor but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night and I do not recommend substituting chit chat with nitwhit for the care of a mental health professional.

My sister suffered from the same thing and between that and the meds they had her on, it made a world of difference. :yay:

Thats all I asked.... this is starting to tire me out LOL Gosh things get so blown out of porportion. Thanks anyways

This was a silly way to try and make conversation. :nono:

Tell us what you think of hummus - do you like that better than pizza or cheesesteaks? And do you drink beer?

Could anyone refer me some really good Psychiatrist in Charles County or surrounding area


First you ask to be refer to a good shrink. Then you turn around and say you wasn't looking for a shrink. Make up your mind. When you ask to be refer to a shrink what are we to think? Honestly!!!
