My psychiatrist yelled at me. is it time to get another one?

Possibly: It really depends on your existing relationship with the psychiatrist and the circumstances. Yelling certainly is not a recommended psychiatric treatment, but doctors sometimes do have bad days. You might start with sharing how the yelling made you feel and hear what the doctor has to say.
