I have enough neuro behind me to make me very, very wary of shrinks. Not that I don't think they have their place, but any one of them that thinks they don't need to order a complete battery of neuro testing on people with suspected severe psych problems doesn't deserve the title of psychiatrist. Non-psychiatrists need to be alert to that kind of stuff too, at least enough to know the questions to ask. Like, "Have you ever had a concussion? Skull fracture?" etc.
