My experience has been one psychotherapist (psychology background) and one psychiatrist. I felt much better with the psychologist, but he also had a lot of experience and was nearing the end of his career. But it was really helpful to me.
I originally went to see the psychiatrist to get a possible ADD/ADHD diagnosed and we took expensive tests and nothing came of it. They were like welp maybe you had adhd as a kid but you're good today! Okay but what do I do now lol, cause I didn't feel like I was okay?
We mostly did therapy and yeah it was not as good as what a psychologist provides. Psychiatrists have to elect for therapy classes in uni, it's not quite the same. I stopped seeing them when it was getting too expensive and I felt comfortable enough. I went back to them after my PE and disability started cause I was under a lot of stress and I could tell it was entirely out of their comfort zone. She just didn't know how to help me. It wasn't all bad, she told me I could cancel at any time at no charge when she saw just how bad the symptoms were, but everything else was kind of... I felt like I just came over (at great difficulty), complained for a bit, then left not feeling any better.
You can tell psychiatrists are not as comfortable with therapy and don't conduct it perfectly. At times she said stuff that made me think '??'. Like "so you see there's no need to catastrophize" oh yeah you're right mb I was just under a shitton of stress, went through a PE and then became disabled for some unknown reason, and coming to your appointments makes me puke on the side of the road every time and I'm dry heaving for 15 minutes but yeah sure I'm catastrophizing. She wasn't entirely wrong, in the end the thing I was worrying over went well, but it's just an out of place comment coming from a therapist.
Eventually I cancelled an appointment cause I was in a really bad spell and never called to reschedule. I've been looking for a psychologist but it's tough when you can't easily go to the appointments. Psychologists learn therapy as part of their classes so they're better at it, though I guess it also depends on your therapist.
Also I don't believe problems are solely caused by capitalism. It just doesn't make sense. Our body is very much capable of betraying itself, stress being just one example.
