To be fair psychiatrists in Germany see you for just as short a time. Psychotherapists see you for an hour a week. Psychiatrists just prescribe medication and don’t actually talk to you beyond that.
Many people don’t know the difference though so your friend might simply believe they get an hour with a psychiatrist. And than there’s the rare exception of a psychiatrist who is in fact also a trained psychotherapist. Most of them still call themselves psychiatrist, because doctors have a much higher social standing than psychologists (which in germany most psychotherapists are). Its complicated. But in general: Most psychiatrists have very little time for their patients.

Yeah, my wife gets 50 minutes a week with a psychotherapist in America because she really needs it. I get about 10-15 minutes with a psychiatrist every 3 months, because that’s the least you can do to get adhd meds in this country and my prescription is stable. All of this is covered by our ACA insurance.
It was the person that prescribed him meds, he said, but since he said he gets to talk about his problems, it’s probably both. He also had a breakdown so he’s recovering to return to normal life, so he may be getting more resources than average there. Great guy though.
No, bro, check my long history which continues onto Reddit for twelve years I’ve done my educational art project. I had a breakdown in college and told my ROTC cadre that my nonexistent sister got me pregnant because I judged my father’s wrath more of a threat than the US military, and what happened is that I got MKULTRA’d and I write propaganda as a skilled righter, but it’s for the crazies of the world as that’s what I am and I was trained to be authentic and crazy is what I be. I think I’m getting famous 6/12. That’s my court date. It’s…difficult to explain what has happened. My CIA life partner has intentionally set me up. Johnny Tremain; I’ve been intentionally set up to teach me trust in the American justice system.
My psychiatrist only sees me for fifteen minutes a month in America. I have a friend in Germany that gets an hour a week.

Makes sense. In any case, it’s great he’s getting help. Hope he gets better soon!
American also. When I had years of therapy it was always an hour a week. Maybe you’re on the “just slightly mental” plan.

Well alrighty then.
I am a messiah candidate, obviously.
