Is it a 6 hours session for that insane amount of money?
- filmgirlcw 7y agoSadly no. It’s an hour. He doesn’t take insurance (most good psychiatrists don’t take insurance — I could conceivably manually submit claims and get some of it back but it’s not worth the hassle) and it costs what it costs.
- ghaff 7y agoYou go realize that’s a pretty run of the mill rate for senior lawyers, consultants, and other well-paid professionals?
- eeZah7Ux 7y agoMaybe in the US. Certainly not in many other countries.
- BeetleB 7y agoFor a psychiatrist (MD), I suppose it's a typical rate. I can't speak for the commenter, but when I was younger everyone (including my psychology professor who was also a therapist) suggested prioritizing a therapist unless medication is needed (for which only a psychiatrist can prescribe). The claim was psychiatrists were trained to have a bias in favor of medication. And therapists will not charge crazy rates. You'll get plenty of good ones for half that cost. No idea if still true.
