Tell us has your experience with this business or person been good? What's this?
THIS SO-CALLED PSYCHIATRIST IS CRAZY!!!

I REALLY DON'T FEEL LIKE GIVING THE VERY LENGTHY DETAILS BUT I WILL TELL YOU ABOUT OUR LAST MEETING. IT TOOK ME AWHILE TO REALIZE THAT HE HAD ME COME IN TO SEE HIM FOR NO OTHER REASON THAN TO ABUSE ME AND THEREBY "GET RID OF ME!" DURING THIS ABUSE, I REPEATEDLY SAID THAT, "I DID NOT COME HERE TO ARGUE WITH YOU."

I WILL TELL YOU THAT DURING EACH OF OUR MEETINGS, HIS PERSONALITY WAS DIFFERENT, (BUT CONSISTENTLY UNCONVENTIONAL, AN UNDERSTATEMENT!, BARE FEET! 2 HRS. RE. CHAKRAS, AND MUCH MORE).

ANYWAY, ON OUR LAST MEETING HE REFUSED ME FURTHER TREATMENT FOR NO LOGICAL REASON. TWICE, I ASKED HIM IF HE COULDN'T AT LEAST REFER ME TO ANOTHER PHYSICIAN TO HELP ME WITH MY MEDS, (I WAS OUT OF 3 OUT OF 4, NO, I'M NOT CRAZY, JUST DEPRESSED.) AND TWICE HE RESPONDED IN A CRAZED SADISTIC MANNER, "NO, YOU'RE SCREWED!"

ONE OF THE MANY RIDICULOUS THINGS THAT HE ATTACKED ME FOR WAS THAT I DID NOT TAKE MY VALIUM CORRECTLY. HE HAD PRESCRIBED "UP TO 3 10 MG. VALIUM PER DAY AS NEEDED. MY RESPONSE WAS THAT I DIDN'T THINK THAT IT WAS "BAD" TO TAKE LESS THAN 30 MG. PER DAY. GOOD GRIEF THAT AMOUNT WOULD HAVE KEPT ME ASLEEP 24/7!!!

EVEN THOUGH HE REFUSED ME ANY CONSTRUCTIVE HELP AND EVEN THOUGH I MADE IT CLEAR THAT VALIUM WAS ALL I HAD LEFT OF MY MEDS AND PLENTY OF IT AT THAT; TWO DAYS LATER, HE OKAYED A REFILL OF 100 10MG. VALIUM, KNOWING FULL WELL THAT I WAS FEELING SUICIDAL!

HE HAD ATTEMPTED A VERY DANGEROUS TREATMENT ON ME, (AMPHETAMINES AND A MAOI), THAT NEARLY KILLED ME. WAS THAT PART OF HIS ERRATIC BEHAVIOR?

HE REFUSED TO RETURN MY VERY DISTRESSED PHONE CALLS, (FOR 2 AND A HALF WEEKS), UNTIL I INFORMED HIM VIA ANSWERING MACHINE MESSAGE THAT I HAD CONTACTED THE STATE MEDICAL BOARD. HE THEN SENT A CERTIFIED LETTER ON THE SAME DAY THAT INCLUDED A PACKFUL OF 'COVER-MY-REAR' LIES. I WAS LIVID!

IT IS AGAINST THE LAW FOR HIM TO LEAVE ME WITHOUT A REFERRAL AND TO REFUSE TO PROVIDE ME WITH MEDS UNTIL I CAN MEET WITH THE NEXT PHYSICIAN. THIS IS REFERRED TO AS ABANDONMENT.

I SUFFER FROM DEPRESSION, I AM NOT DELUSIONAL. I BELIEVE WHOLEHEARTEDLY THAT THIS MAN IS SERIOUSLY ILL. HE ALMOST PUSHED ME TO SUICIDE, (WITH WHAT I'VE MENTIONED HERE AND MORE); I'D LIKE TO STOP HIM BEFORE HE DOES SERIOUS AND/OR IRREPARABLE DAMAGE TO SOMEONE. THE STATE BOARD TAKES 3 TO 6 MONTHS FOR A REVIEW AND OF COURSE THEIR BIAS, (MOST ESPECIALLY IN A PSYCHIATRIC CASE), IS TOWARDS THE PHYSICIAN.

THANK YOU, CATHY

Hi Cathy I have such empathy for your situation. I too suffer from Major depression and during my entire 50 year lifetime have seen many psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers. Not all are the same and not all were for me. This psychiatrist is not necessarily a "bad person." He may not be able to give you what you need.IN that case, there is no need to have gotten angry with him. You need to walk away with your head up anbd high tail it our of his office. Find another physician ASAP. If you have an emergency, go to an emergency room and they wil find one for you or make a referral on an emergency basis. I am often sick and tired of medical providers making choices for me. It is so depressing but I have decided I will not allow them to do that anymore. Ironically I am an RN. The hard part is that when you are depressed, you have very little energy for the "fight." My suggestion is that you conserve your energy until you become stronger and then do what you gotta do. Good luck. The doc in question, based on what you had to say, sounds like he could use some psychotherapy himself but that's not your problem. Concentrate on yourself.
