but it's alarming that the number of psychiatrists who perform psychotherapy rather than just medical management is declining. It can't all be reduced to a pill, although medications can do a lot.

I've only had clinical social workers and trainee psychologists as therapists, and they're a mixed bag. I think I have a decent counselor now, but I sometimes wonder if I don't need fairly intensive psychotherapy from a trained physician.
