Good luck with this tomorrow. I just wanted to add that I have a background in psychology and worked in mental health, so have also experienced this dilemma. Generally I find its possible to reach a middle ground; sharing your thoughts about what's going on, but letting the psychiatrist put together the information and feed it back to you with their perspective. Some doctors hate being told what to do, so it can be sensible to feel them out first, but most acknowledge that the person with the problem has their own insight.
