Hey again,
I've been reading up on the types of treatment available, and at least in Missouri, it seems that most psychiatrists do 95% pill pushing and very little talk therapy of any kind. Is this the norm everywhere? One psychiatrist I know got fed up with this because he wasn't being reimbursed for talk therapy, and went into private practice. He's a happy guy now, but seems to be a rare breed. So how important do you consider these two? If money was no option, what percentage would you do of each?
Thanks,
Andrea
