>Hi Racer,
I sure hope you didn't take what I was saying to mean that I was worthy of being treated better than someone with a SMI. What I was trying to say, that I guess I didn't say very well, was that I think my p-doc treats his patients the way he would want to be treated with respect, courtesy, kindness, warmth, and a sense of humor. He us them as though we are well, not sick, and IMO I think that is beneficial.
I wouldn't be comfortable with anything less than that because I got very sick, as a teenager, with my first psychiatrist. I became suicidally depressed because of his "theraputic measures". He was a sick man, who thrived on dependency. I was too young to know what hit me, and my parents were too ignorant to get me the heck out of there.I'm sorry if it came across sounding like I was being snotty. I'm sincerely sorry that you are having a rough time right now.
