How can you talk to a psychiatrist?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Candidly: Provide direct & honest responses to obtain the best care possible. Avoid tendencies to give what you think is the "right response". You needn't be fearful.

Clearly: During the first appointment, which we call the initial evaluation or consultation, explain in detail what symptoms you have. In other words, specifically describe what you are experiencing that is causing you problems. Not the reasons, or the consequences, but what ails you. Be clear and complete. Be honest. Don't exaggerate or minimize. Take your time. Find someone who will listen.
