Depends on the people of course. Psychlogists perform the neuropsych evaluations. As a former therapist I know some great and some lousy psychiatrics. Same with psychologists. Same with any profession, I guess. Personally as a patient, same thing.

I agree that there are good people in every medical specialty. Based on my experience with psychiatrists, many resume the diagnosis of patients saying it is depression and giving medications for it. But what is the cause of depression? I for sure got depressed with no sleep, lack of memory and other things. But this was not the cause, it was a symptom. As Desmond Tutu once said and Dr. David Perlmutter mentions his quote many times:
“There comes a point where we need to stop just pulling people out of the river. We need to go upstream and find out why they’re falling in.”
