I probably should have made clear that a good psychiatrist will make sure that his/her client gets a medical work up as part of a comprehensive treatment plan. My point is that often a patient will present with mental health issues to his/her general practitioner and the doc will write scripts for medication.
I assume you are speaking from professional and/or personal experience, and I am doing the same. I stand by my assertion that if sierra2774 is not having her meds. dispensed and monitored by a psychiatrist, then she should. Speaking with her pharmacologist in re: possible side effects of Zoloft and any other drug that may be prescribed, would also be a good idea.
Why do you feel that psychiatrists do not know *what's up*?
