In three visits I knew all about his lousy marriage, his rotten kids and his childhood hangups. I thought a psychiatrist was supposed to let the patient talk, but all mine did was talk about himself. I tried to tell him about my sleepless nights, my feelings of loneliness and frequent depressions, but he always turned the conversation back to himself. When it comes time for me to leave, I'm so frustrated I can hardly wait to get out of his office. I told my husband all of the above and he said maybe that was the doctor's way of making me feel that my problems weren't so heavy after all.

Is this the way psychiatrists operate? Or did I pick a lemon? How many more sessions do you think I should have to give him a fair chance to help me with mv problems? He charges $40 for 50 minutes. -BEWILDERED IN BRENTWOOD DEAR BEWILDERED: It appears that your psychiatrist needs a psychiatrist. Inform him at your next session that you have decided to see another therapist. Tell him why, and encourage him to seek help from a colleague. If you need help in selecting another therapist, consult your county medical society, your family doctor or your local mental health association.

Do not continue with a therapist you're not comfortable with. CONFIDENTIAL TO "FERTILE MYRTLE IN PITTSFIELD, You are very wise to take no chances. According" to the Guinness Book of Records, the oldest woman to give birth was Ruth A. Kistler of Glendale. Calif.
