[QUOTE="JJJ, post: 377787, member: 1169"] A 5-minute appointment is very common around here. We found one psychiatrist that did both therapy and medication management but we could only afford him for a brief time as our insurance didn't cover him. He was nearing retirement and still believed that doing both was important. Maybe you can find either a fresh-out-of-medication-school doctor who doesn't have a large patient base yet or a near retirement want to make a difference psychiatrist?? Our current psychiatrists spend 45 minutes with a new patient and then it is 5 minutes unless you are in crisis, then you will get 10-15 minutes. Every 3 years or so, they do another 45 minute appointment if the therapist feels it would help. [/QUOTE]
