I know someone that went to see one and the first visit suggested her going on zoloft---withought really evaluating her--saying she had high anxiety--aren't they suppose to talk to you for a few visits first and the suggest medication as a last resort? Should she get a second opinon?

Hello! I think if she feels she needs a second opinion she should get one. The therapist must of talked to her enough to feel like she needed meds already. Hugs! Von

Yes, I have a really good one, been going for 10 years , so maybe 500 times. He's great. Maybe saved my life. Maybe more than once. Psychologists can't prescibe things so they should NOT reccomend what you should or shouldn't take. AT least in my opinion. Psychiatrists are MDs who have studied that stuff and can. Always get a second or third opinion, if you have doubts. Listen to and consider what they tell you, maybe they are right. Maybe they are half right. Anyway listen. Psych docs tend to be a bit prescription happy so watch out for that. Then work with them.

Go to another one. This one may be a good one but she is NOT a fit for you. You have to feel comfortable and have to have confidence in the therapist that you go to. After all, this person will come to know you better than any other person in your life. Trust me, I was in therapy for seven years. Though it was at times extremely painful, I would not change the outcome for anything. Definitely recommend a second and maybe even a third opinion. Sometimes it takes several to find the ONE for you.

Your friend probably gave them enough information to form that suggestion. If she feels this is not right for her then she should decide to see someone else or just talk to her therapist about HER concerns.

PM me.. we now have non-invasive, non drug therapies available.. soon as I know where you are, I can find you a practitioner that can actually help you and not drug companies. WAY too many so called doctors are quick to hand out drugs like candy.. why? They are heavily invested in drug companies.. many of the drugs are addictive in one way or another.. There is ANOTHER alternative.. e-mail me

sometimes seeing a few doctors to find out what the prob is, usually is the case. i'm going through a few right now trying to find the right one. its not fun and very frustrating.
