I suppose it depends what your relationship with your family doctor is. I have had the same guy for close to 30 years, and he has absolutely no issues sitting and talking with me. In fact when I came in to ask him for a referral, he asked me to wait for him to get a few other patients out of the way so he could sit down with me, and make sure everything was okay. But then again, my family doctor isn't a jerk, and doesn't look at mental health as a waste of health care resources.
