In evaluating a psychiatrist, should I check which brand and type of couch I will be laying on?

Question

I want to make sure they have my best interests at heart.

Answer 1

No, I've never laid down, I've always sat upright. My first method of evaluation would be if I could talk to them openly and honestly. Next, I would make sure that they are giving me advice or counseling me in words that I can understand, in layman's terms, not medical mumbo-jumbo. Best of Luck to ya!

Answer 2

When you're evaluating a psychiatrist you should evaluate what pharmacutical companies have him on their payroll. Because if he/she is recieving special funds from a pharmacutical company then he/she will be more interested in prescribing your friend(s) with pills and medications that are not neccessary.

I would recommend going to a Psychologist. The difference is, psychologist will have you talk about yourself and help you figure yourself out, psychiatrist's will give you pills. Stay away from those pills. They aren't tested properly. It's a proven statistic that most physcopaths (including the Virginia Tech Shooter) take antidepressents for years and end up going through a breakdown when they have a withdrawal from the pills they've been taking. Stay away.

Answer 3

I know you were being silly, but my psychiatrist wants me out of there in 15 minutes. All psychiatrists do now is dispense the meds. Now, I chose my therapist because he had the softest brand of Kleenex for me to cry in and blow my nose. Do not settle for anything less than a four ply brand of Kleenex. :o)

It may be equally helpful to assess the relative quality of the window you'll be throwing your money out of, or the aerodynamic characteristics those bills assume in-flight on their way to the ground. A little science goes a long way.

Answer 5

Sure but this could become very expensive. If you have a preference, perhaps you could ask prior to scheduling an appointment. ps: your avatar looks like a vagina but I'm sure you already know that.

Answer 6

Oh, but you don't need to be checking out him or his couch. Because he will be ever so busy evaluating... you.

Answer 7

These are modern times most of them don't use couches and don't do freudian type analyzing.

Lol but if you are trying to be funny it was very funny

Answer 8

Since you are essentially paying to lay on it and blab about nonessential emotions you might as well make sure you are comfortable

Answer 9

I like to go to my psychiatrist while drunk on Jack Daniels.

Answer 10

yes. I hear Debusier is a great therapy couch
