Can someone here recommend a psychiatrist to me?
- Thread starter Annonymous
- Start date
Did your doctor cross her leg like Doctor Milfi did in this clip?True story.About 10 years ago when I thought I was a sex addict,(now i'm sure)I asked for a referral from my doctor for a good psychologist...you guessed it.He placed me with this hot 40 something milf with nice cans.10 free work insurance covered sessions later, the only "bonding" that got done was my prick to my hands with man- glue after pretty well every session.Make sure the shrink matches the problem.Cheers

There seems to be some confusion here.
1) Psychiatrists are MDs with a specialty in Brain/Mental health related disorders. Typically utilizing the Medical Model of diagnosis and prescribing to alleviate the disorder. They can be Psychotherapists or Psychoanalysts as well if they choose to specialize in those types of approaches.
2) Psychoanalysts have specific training in that particular approach and need not have a degree in medicine or even psychology for that matter.
This from the Toronto Psychoanalytic Society and Institute:
Admission criteria
Applicants normally possess either a medical degree or a doctorate in psychology, social work, the humanities, or the social sciences, or a master’s degree in social work. A background of clinical experience in psychotherapy is strongly recommended for all applicants. These criteria ensure that candidates will be studying with classmates who are experienced and sophisticated
clinicians and scholars.
Suitable applicants will be interviewed by three separate members of the Institute Admissions Committee. The reports of these interviews will then be considered along with the applicant’s
curriculum vitae and letters of reference.
3) Psychologists cannot prescribe meds as they are not MDs. They utilize a variety of approaches depending on the personal preference of the individual.
4) Counsellors do not necessarily have a PhD and could only have Community College courses to be licensed to practise in Ontario.
Here is a superficial overview of the types of psychotherapies.

Ask your current therapist to refer you to someone else. Explain that you don't feel that you are making progress and do not anticipate the situation getting any better. If they are ethical and competent they will be happy to refer you to someone else who may fit your needs. If not contact the Ontario Psychological Assoc. or your family doctor.

Would you really be willing to expose your most vulnerable side to someone based solely on the recommendation of an anonymous poster on an escort review board? If the doctor was hot, female, and offered extras, TERB advice might be appropriate; otherwise, not so much.Is it "medical advice" for one of the tens of thousands of readers to say "Hey, I've seen Dr. Dik VonDinklestein and I liked him"might be worth checking out"
^^ basically what I was trying to say but better. Not that there is anything wrong with the "medical model" - its important and saved my life more than once. And Im a dyes in the wool scientific nerd. Just that the human emotional brain is so complicated, sometimes this approach is not enough. Put it this way, your lunngs cant just stop working cuz a loved one dies for example, but your brain - at least the mood / emotion part can get completely fucked by this situation.
Even if someone here gives you the name of someone suitable, what are the chances that he's accepting clients or that your doctor will give you a referral?
Did you even mention the vicinity you need him to be located in?
If it turns out that you only need drug therapy, and not talk therapy, how suitable does he have to be?
If you're a fucking mental patient, how can you be so sure there's anything wrong with any of the doctors you've seen and fired? Maybe they were all great, and you're just fucking nuts. (Sorry, I realise the wording is a little harsh, but it gets the point across)
I have no idea whether they can help you, but there's a health services hotline (Telehealth Ontario) at 866-797-0000. I think it's staffed by nurses, and they might be able to give you some useful info.

How about Dr. Malvin Praktis. He like to be called Mal Praktis. He's an ear, nose, throat and wallet specialist.
Make sure it's a Homeland Security approved one. This woman had to submit her medical records to the U.S. and get clearance from a Homeland Security-approved doctor in Toronto, who charged her $250 for the service.

Here's someone that Google chose at random for me. You'd have to be nuts not to like him.
