Depends on what kind of meds you are getting, Stimulants such as Adderall or Ritalin etc etc need to be backed up by tests and questioners. It will take a few appointments for those. Considering you dont pass.
I guarantee the psych will tell you "i think your depressed" take this zoloft, paxil and crap like that. Seriously if you can get by with out meds you are very fortunate. Anti depressants are especially bad for you, but doctors get kick backs for moving their drugs. Most people are not suspicious of psychs, but you should be. Try behavioral therapy and see how that goes first.. (just my opinion)

What license does a psychiatrist need to obtain before they can practice?
A psychiatrist is a medical doctor, with an added specialty of psychiatry. So they would need certifications in both of these fields. A psychologist, on the other hand, has a degree in psychology alone. They are not medical doctors, cannot prescribe medications, etc.
Can the pharmacist suggest changing the prescription to another drug without the patients knowledge and would this not violate hipaa?
They can suggest a change to the prescribing physician if they believe another medication would better suit the patient's needs or if there are contraindications for the medication currently prescribed (i.e. an allergy or conflicting medications). They are not violating HIPAA because this is a necessary communication between two of the patient's care providers.

If you let your psychiatrist know that you are bulimic would he or she continue you to prescribe your ADHD medications?
Yes, I would think they would. It is important you tell him/her about your bulimia since that is a importantcomponent in helping you to solve the problems you may have. The bulimia is a symptom of a larger problem that you need resolve and not letting your psychiatrist know of it means they can't fully help you.
Why was a three hundred dollar psychological second opinion on paper dissed by a V A psychiatrist as being not worth the paper it was printed on?
This would probably be because the VA psychiatrist didn't agree with the second opinion. I would suggest talking to the individual's supervisor, or seek a third opinion.
How is chemistry related to oncology?
Chemistry is related to oncology because when you give a patient medications, you have to know what is in them. You need to know what is in them because if something in the medications are not healthy for something in the body, or if some bodily fluid touched the medicines and they reacted, you and your patient would both be in great trouble.
What is multidisciplinary team?
A multidisciplinary team can be comprised of a variety of team members, all of whom will provide a specific service or information to help resolve an issue. In a hospital setting, for example, a team might be comprised of a physician, nurse, social worker, nutritionist, psychiatrist, teacher, and one or both parents. The doctor would report on the patient's condition, the nutritionist would create a healthy meal plan for the patient, the psychiatrist would assess the patient psychologically, and the nurse would issue the patient's medications and monitor her behavior while hospitalized. If the patient is under age 18, the parent(s) would report on the child's physiological and psychological behavior at home. The hospital social worker would report on any investigations that she may have conducted about the patient and recommend solutions. The team would then put all of their reports, test results, information and ideas together in order to create a multi-faceted treatment plan for the patient. Hence, you have a "multidisciplinary" team. Such teams are not limited to medical facilities. Multidisciplinary teams may be established in all walks of life for any type of job, business, financial, medical, social, corporate, and other needs.
What would you do to use improving concentration?
Sometimes therapy and talking doesnt really do anything for problems like ADD or ADHD so I would suggest a mild controlled substance from your psychiatrist.
