Could be ....: Is your psychiatrist helping you ? If your psychiatrist is odd but you trust him/her clinically - you may not need to change anything. If you lack confidence in your provider's skill set - it may be appropriate to see who else is in your area . Just curious why you see a psychiatrist since it lists that you take no medications. Often counselors or psychologists provide non-medication treatment.

Crazy psychiatrist?: Psychiatrists can become ill, it's true -- but what has happened that causes you to say this? Is your psychiatrist keeping appointments, listening to you, keeping track of any medications prescribed, and referring appropriately? Does s/he return phone calls? If you have concerns or feel uncomfortable speaking frankly with your own doctor, get a second opinion from another psychiatrist.
