Forgot to say, the issue is, i experienced a change in mental health symptoms at the same time I experienced vision distortion. This doc seemed to dismiss it all when I mentioned what other docs had previously said--but those DX were long before I had this symptom-I'm talking like 5 years ago.... I just felt this dr. was a waste of my time. I was pleased to hear his recommendations of other ADs, since the last few I saw kept prescribing me the same meds over and over and over--despite that I told them I was worse off, and lost my capacity to function as a human being while on those meds. Those other drs. never offered an alternative to the common SSRIs. Yet, this doc, who actually had alterntive ideas, said I had to find a 'regular' psychiatrist anyway...
I just can't believe how the doctors are here. I can't understand why the last 3 psychiatrists did not consider the meds this doctor suggested trying. Then again, I can't understand why this doctor did not address my distorted vision seriously.
I know the last psychiatrists were few on the list of my insurance-insurance few doctors wanted to deal with--but I just don't understnad how doctors can be so intelligent to go through med school, yet so weak in problem solving. I can't comprehend this.
I've had some excellent doctors over the years-OBGYN, neuropthamologist, opthamologist, etc; but when it comes to psych care, they have been the absolute worst. Endocrinologists have not shown much individual thinking either, only seemingly knowing about diabetes issues.
grrrrr... :(
