Christ_Empowered, thats so true. they just dont listen to patients. and any family doc could do their job. and 98% of psychiatrists ive seen havent listened to me either. the one i just stopped seeing, id have to repeat things throughout my appointments. theyre getting paid so much because their jobs have are important and risky, but it was like she goes into autopilot when she sees patients.
but, the most irritating thing is that theyd rather pick any random just because it is approved for my what ever generic label my condition has, rather than actually put any thought in how to better target my condition.
yeah, i could go on all day about how much i dislike psychiatrists. and i think one of the worst things is that the conditions of those suffering from Mental Illnesses are given less respect than psychiatry itself.
