My Dr. Said I was to smart to be on disability, and just needed to get my meds correct then misdiagnosed me after we went through my diagnosis and he said it sounded like straight ptsd.
I had to go in and tell him if hounding just give me an antidepressant then you can't help me. He wanted to put me on stuff for bipolar which makes me rage. Don't touch my GABA in my brain man. Its been a 21 year battle to get help.
He gave me an antidepressant which is working wonders, and I get to see him in a month to tell him that. He kept saying "I don't want you to get manic." At this point I'm using him as a Psych Doc for a script only, but have a different therapist who is kind, and gets it. And no I'm not manic, so he was wrong like the past ones. They won't listen sometimes.
Fighting with doctors isn't fun, but I straight up told him "if you can't help me with this then I can seek other options." And so he gave me the script.
Dr's are human and have egos, and bad days. Dependant upon the attitude of how it was said to you is most important. And you can get a new doctor while seeing this one. It can take a while to get in to a new doctor I understand. I've learned from learned helplessness in the past not to ever let anyone be in charge, or above me again. I for care about a PhD especially because I knew a bunch years ago that were coke heads.
f*ck em they use you for money, so use them for everything you can, and if they are of no help then don't let your insurance pay them for being an asshole. But, that's just my new opinion as of this year. One therapists took a pay check of $200 a month for three years two sessions a month to treat me like a friend, but that was the last three years of eight with the same therapist. I waisted time where I could have ben seeing someone new, and made sure I was working getting better.
