Psychiatrist->psychologist, this is how the order of visitation should look.

 

I couldn't agree less, it should be the reverse.

Ok, this is too much. Please, exercise at least a little bit of responsibility.

 

You should never visit psychologist before visiting psychiatrist. General rule: MD over humanities graduates(some call it 'science') when it comes to your health.

Psychiatrists are often also trained in therapy techniques, so it's not impossible to do both medication and therapy. That's certainly been my experience.

 

Finding the right medication regime can take a while, though, and be quite expensive, so I can understand how a person might not be able to do that. In which case, any relief a psychologist can provide is better than nothing. (Although any psychologist worthy of the name will recommend a psychiatrist if they feel that's what the patient needs.)

 

All that's a fair bit off topic, though, as completionism doesn't automatically mean OCD/OCPD. And as someone with an actual diagnosis, I'm not that thrilled with casual appropriation of the term.

Having both a master's in psychology, as well as an MD, I would say I'm better qualified than most to say what is a better course of action.

If what you say is true, then what you have said is even more irresponsible. Please, excuse me but it is my last response to you on this topic. I don't wish to engage in a discourse that will end with rift that may influence someone to choose one of the sides and prolong his/her discomfort in the case of choosing wrongly.

 

I will repeat: general and safest way: if you feel that you have OCD/OCPD, you are struggling with its symptoms, visit psychiatrist and then psychologist[2in1 would be the best: that is MD with qualifications to conduct psychotherapy]

Yes, its often irresponsible to discuss medical facts.

 

I will reassert that I believe your opinion is wrong and you are advocating a position that will lead to overmedication of people that don't need it.

It was inevitable...

 

 

That they would eventually end up side-by-side.

 

 

 

 

(Even forum coincidence has OCD, apparently...)
