found a psychiatrist that is a D.O.

3. My bff's son is almost a full-fledged DO

Doing his residency. I didn't even know what a DO was until he started that program. I've been VERY impressed with him and his knowledge on the total body vs. treating the specific issue. I bounce EVERYTHING my doc tells me off of him with some issues I've been having lately.

I would suspect that a DO in psych would be just as thorough. Probably not so much a "push the meds" approach, but more comprehensive if I had to guess.

Good luck. I hope the relationship works well for you. Keep us updated on it. I'm very interested in the differences with a DO.
