Im looking for a good psychiatrist in the new york area does anyone know of any?

Question

If possible if you have the name and phone number? If possible one that is caring and a little easygoing?

Answer 1

The best referrals will come from your family Dr.

Answer 2

Try asking this on your local Craig's list as well.

You might Google support groups - mental health or depression or bipolar in your area and ask there also.

You know that you could get a recommendation from the APA, but I think your question implies wanting some first hand reassurance.

Psychologist?
Do you think you want to try/need meds?
A family physician can also prescribe.
"Some" insurance covers either medical management or therapy but not both.
