How regularly you see your private psychiatrist for medication and prescription refills will depend on several factors. You will probably need to visit your psychiatrist more regularly if you are trying a new medication or are having problems with your current medication.
Seeing a psychiatrist regularly (every few weeks) is a good idea if you need to have frequent monitoring to see how well your body is responding to a particular medication.
If you have been on a certain medication for a long time without side effects, you may only need to see your psychiatrist every few months for prescription refills. However, remember that the private psychiatrists at our London therapy clinic can also offer you non-medical support, such as helping you talk through your problems.
