How do I convince my psychiatrist that I actually need some sort

Get a new therapist. If you don't feel like you're being helped in a way that benefits you then you shouldn't be giving them your money.

Alternatively maybe therapy isn't what you need but medication. Therapy will always be mostly talking and discussing things. Sometimes this helps people work things out especially loners.

Never worked for me but my issues are probably different from the run-of-the-mill considering my life is pretty grand. (not to brag) Medication helped though and I genuinely feel so much better.

I can't switch, free health care doesn't work that way. They picked me a psychiatrist because they thought I needed one, and if I switch to a private clinic I'll have to pay for it myself and they might not approve of it.

What pill will make me like sex?

Don't convince him. Fire him.

You're the consumer. Therapy is the product. If he doesn't provide a satisfactory product, shop elsewhere.

It is EXACTLY the same as if you went to a barber who gave lousy haircuts.

Even in a free care system you can go back to the people who assigned this shrink and ask to be transferred because he isn't working out. You may have to insist, and demand to talk to someone higher up, but it can be done.

They assigned him to me because he has previous experience with patients like me.

The people who have assigned him to me are currently trying to pretend to not have noticed HIS letter to THEM greenlighting me to carry on with the treatments to my original problem. They have neither the will nor the resources to help me, and I am too stressed and exhausted and busy to go get treatments abroad.
