I've been there, and because of decades of experience and talking to other patients, I have to disagree. Psychiatrists in large part aren't as incompetent as patients tend to assume. Your perception of their competence is mostly due to how much you like and get along with them. The next issue is the therapy they try initially, because different therapies work for differently well depending on your brain and your depression. But no doctor can know what works before trying it out. Switching psychiatrists will most likely prolong your suffering, not shorten it.
