In Bulgaria, the legal regulatory body for doctors is the Bulgarian Medical Union, and its national register is where a psychiatrist's licence can be confirmed. The register separates general psychiatry from child psychiatry and forensic psychiatry, which is worth knowing if you are looking for care for a young person. Because it is a doctors' register, it answers for psychiatrists rather than for every therapist on a Bulgarian listing.
What a session costs varies with training, setting and where the practice is. See how to think about the cost of therapy.
