I think it is hard when you've had an illness for so long... especially an illness such as schizophrenia or psychosis and you have to change specialists right when you know them and are used to them. It's hard for both of you because I don't know where to start basically. I can't exactly recall every hallucination and every delusion I've had and tell him within one or two hour sessions. And then the consultant has to learn all about you... get to know you, what symptoms you have/had and the list goes on.
That's why I was upset about leaving my CAMHS psychiatrist because... well... he knw me so well and I was comfortable with him. Now I have to get to know someone totally different and I don't know what they're going to be like. It's hard.
