[QUOTE="witzend, post: 10267, member: 99"] I use an APRN for some of my regular medical care. For diagnosis'ing, she has to run things past my regular doctor, so it can cause some delay. But I have been comfortable with my care. I think that if you are comfortable with her and whoever is backing up the diagnosis'ing, it shouldn't be a problem. In my area, I find it difficult to find a psychiatrist that I like. I had a wonderful one for years, but she retired. And to get a referral you had to wait months. husband was seeing a PhD, and I saw him from time to time as well. I asked if he would do the therapy part, and make referrals to my MD when we felt that things needed to be tweaked. It seemed to work out, but I still don't see him often. I just hate trying to squeeze 20 years of why I am PTSD and need medicinal help sometimes into a 10 minute doctor visit. [/QUOTE]
