I wouldn't see that psychiatrist anymore. Why are you even seeing a psychiatrist?
I agree. I see him for depression (which I don't have much of anymore) and he keeps my meds straight. So of their old school "theories" are so bazar. I'm going to try to see a doc thats more like a clinical neuroscientist or neurologist. More science less woo woo. I agree. We need a good biomarker test sooooo bad. I'm messing around with an idea at my house but I just don't have an adequate education yet to make it work.I wouldn't see that psychiatrist anymore. Why are you even seeing a psychiatrist? When I was younger my parents made me see a psychotherapist. Not just psychiatrists, but many people sometimes try to blame symptoms on so-called mental issues, past experiences, etc. They can't believe how we can be like this, but yet they'll believe in bizarre psychological theories. We just have to wait for the ME/CFS researchers to find something that will help us or we have to experiment ourselves with different things.
I've had maybe 9 or 10 psychiatrist because of refractory depression. All except 2 have been absolutely wonderful, smart and kind. I agree with you.I saw a psychiatrist when i fell into a little depression (after getting a bad letter at work or was it coming off that Fentanyl crap! or Both, many years ago!). He believed me, and was supportive and very kind! He said I was bright

Does anyone have any good information regarding pacing for @MAOAr297r I know for a fact there must be something on here (in fact, I think I even made a post asking this ages ago). I'm a bit too exhausted to explore right now, sorry . It won't give you more energy but it will help you manage what you have.
