I'm 20 and see an adult psychiatrist - I would feel uncomfortable seeing a child/adolescent psychiatrist too. I had a 17 year old friend a few years ago who refused to see a child psychiatrist, she could only see an adult one when she became 18. She felt that a child/adolescent psychiatrist would treat her like a child, and in some respects they did.
Good pdocs are hard to find tho', so if you get a good one, stick with them whether they are child or adult.
