My psychiatrist just prescribes meds and only wants to see me every three months when I'm doing well. My therapist is a talk therapist (behaviorial therapy is his specialty).
China has something there, I'm sure. It's sort of a preventive maintenance of mental health. I usual have one well visit before I go on my month away.
He is a Ph.D., by the way.
Anyway, this works for me. I have had periods of up to six months when I've seen him twice, and then I've had a dozen weekly visits. Whatever works for you is an individual thing.
