How Do You Find a Psychiatrist That’s Good and Willing to Treat All Your Problems?
Question by Cantsleep222: How do you find a psychiatrist that’s good and willing to treat all your problems?
I am trying to find a new psychiatrist but after so many bad experiences I don’t trust them and I feel like picking a psychiatrist is just going to be like throwing a dart at a board and I don’t know who I’m going to get. How should I go about finding one and what if they’re bad? I don’t have insurance or a ton of money to keep trying different ones if they’re not a good fit. Any suggestions for pre-screening them?

Try Prayer. God always wants you to talk to him and ask for his help. I suffered depression for over 20 years when people did not talk about such stuff. Asking God and just knowing he hears me and cares for me has helped immensely.
