That is truly frightening. I always believe my therapist about what he puts in his notes. I'm rather surprised that your psychiatrist was so indiscreet given the current climate where patients can and do request to see their records. Most of them write with an eye to potential readers including the patient.
I'm terribly sorry that happened to you, but keep in mind that just because he wrote it down doesn't make it truth. I shudder to think about what my first psychiatrist wrote in my records, but I'm sure my current psychiatrist's records contains nothing worse than hypochondriac about side effects. And the first one was just plain wrong.
