[QUOTE="klmno, post: 264125, member: 3699"] The psychiatrist will need to hear about symptoms and maybe some family history re. anxiety, mental health issues, etc, in order to give a diagnosis and prescribe medications. If you walk in there and say "she has anxiety, can you prescribe XYZ" and he/she does it, then it's a quack. Now, how many appts the psychiatrist takes before rx'ing medications depends on several things. Still, appts are normally only about 15 mins, except the first one might be longer. The psychiatrist might even prescribe something to try the first appointment. Keep in mind that some anti-anxiety medications are addictive. [/QUOTE]
