I went to a psychiatrist today

I went to a psychiatrist today and it was such a terrible experiences

I don't know why this happens to me.

I was nice and polite and just wanted to get help beacuse I struggle so much with my mom's suicide.

But ...

she didn't give a honeysuckle about me. no empathy. Didn't really care what I had to say or how I am feeling. All she cared about was writing her report that she has to send to the health insurance company and be done with it

then she talked bad about therapists and psychologists.

It felt like she didn't believe me when I told her about my problems.

She didn't understand why I can't go to work and said I should just go back there

then she talked bad about what I studied (no idea why?)

And then she asked me if I want to take medicine. I told her that I am not sure. And I wanted to tell her my concerns about taking meds and what my therapist told me about it

she said therapists know nothing about meds and then she wrote down about me in her report that "the patient refuses to take medicine"

And that she is just wasting her time here with me then.

and then in the end I just said that I guess I could try some meds. So she prescribed me something and I could go after that.

And all that happened in just 5 minutes and then she was done.

I am feeling very angry

She will write a report to my health insurance company. I think it will have negative consequences for me

You should contact the health insurance company and file your own report about her bad practices. Obviously she's only in it for the money from the insurance company and any kickbacks she'll get.

I had a kind of similar experience with psychiatrists. Only for my son. The one he went to for depression and anxiety was all "put him on this drug" and would not hear anything else. Even though I told her that my family has a history of doing very poorly on the drug she suggested.
The other was about a decade ago. He spent maybe 15 minutes (that's being generous) with my son and me and told us that he did NOT have what 2 other doctors (who spent HOURS AND HOURS with my son) said he had and that he was basically putting on an act to get attention. After that, we took him to a place that has a beyond excellent reputation and they agreed with the first doctors.

From my experience and other people i know who have went to psychiatrists, they seem to just want to push drugs, not actually listen to you. I'm sure there are some out there who listen and actually care, but I haven't heard of any around me.

Hey Dexter,
Sorry you had to go through such bullshit, ain't nothing better than getting kicked when you're already on the ground, eh?

I do agree with Sci, there's tons of medical "professionals" like this, bunch of goddamn leeches. And it's difficult to fight that, because they're the kind of people who prey on those who are already down, have no will or means to retaliate. I know it's easier said than done, but like Sci said - fight back.

@TheRealCallie
Indeed, that seems to be the most common proposed "solution", since it requires no actual effort on their part. "Yup, just hook 'em up on pills, my job here is done. Send in the next one!". I'm glad you were able to get in contact with some actual specialists.

Stay strong, buddy!
