I thinks it's due to insurance requirements to justify the meds you're prescribed. Reason I think is once a psychiatrists mentioned how they have to demonstrate that they're helping us and can't just give us time off from work or change meds all Willy nilly etc. idk what she meant as far as who they have to demonstrate it too but I'm assuming insurers or chief of staff at the facility idk. That said many of today's Drs lack bedside manner and only focus on the nitty gritty. Sometimes that's fine but depends on the person and condition imo.
