Why don't you see people seeking treatment for ADHD?
There are lots of psychiatrists better at managing ADHD than me. For conditions where I have better training and expertise (eating disorders, pain problems and addictions), I see ADHD as usually a low clinical priority and a distraction.
Why don't you do medicolegal work?
My training and experience means that I would be relatively ineffective. My interest is to help people recover from their mental illness. Other psychiatrists specialise in assembling evidence of legal liability of psychological injuries, or legal implications of psychiatric illness.
Sometimes I get referrals apparently for treatment of a mental illness, but the main issue is actually a medicolegal problem. This may mean that I am unable to treat the mental illness, and it is better to find another psychiatrist.
Would you see a family member or close friend? (of a current or previous patient)
Almost certainly not. An example of a problem is that psychiatric illnesses are exacerbated by tensions in close relationships, and this might end up in me taking sides. My training includes is to help an individual build skills for managing their close relationships for themselves.
Why don't you see patients managed by other psychiatrists?
Your current psychiatrist is responsible for management of all aspects of your psychiatric care. If there are areas that are outside their expertise, then you should discuss this with them and consider whether a second opinion or joint management would be useful.
