A member asked:
Why do psychiatrists tend to guide the conversation a certain way and not let the patient explain thoroughly what's going on? this causes misdiagnosis

He's correct, MD not: If the psychiatrist doesn't listen he's basing his conclusion on what's on his mind and not the patients. He acting like he knows more than the patient about how he feels
