Also, you might think about finding a different psychiatrist. Psychiatry has evolved rapidly and not entirely smoothly over the last few decades, so quality varies widely. (Not that long ago, psychiatrists were basically Freudians who were allowed to prescribe pills.) I would be wary of any psychiatrist who is expounding as an authority on stuff he has not been trained in. At a minimum it sounds like this guy is suffering from this kind of "I'm a scientist" hubris: SMBC cartoon
