Psychiatry is really changing. Freudian psychiatry is dying out. Many psychiatrists today are quite good. I’ve known several that were top notch.
One was a biochemical psychiatrist who would often spend six months adjusting medications for a challenging patient to help problems so rare they weren’t even mentioned in the textbooks.
Another was an “objective” psychiatrist with Sherlock Holmes style deductive ability. He diagnosed physical diseases that Internists and even specialists would miss. Impressive to watch, he diagnosed one woman after asking what she normally ate for breakfast, which turned out to be a rare and toxic foreign dish that she just loved and ate regularly, which was killing her.
You watched an ongoing diagnosis, over a six month period? By a “biochemical psychiatrist,” no less. Was he islamic, by chance of circumstance?
she was eating fugu?
