Your pdoc? My pdoc doesn't want to hear anything at all about me except if I think I'm in need of a medication change or if I'm having directly related side effects. Hormonal changes affecting my mood? Tell my ob/gyn. Stress? Tell my therapist. He just doesn't want to hear it.
My pdoc before this one I used to call "Dr Just the Facts, Ma'am."
My pdocs don't really want to know all that much. I don't know how common that is.
He allots me about five minutes. Last time he even moved his client chair about six + feet from his desk as I walked in the office door. I swear I bathed and brushed my teeth before I went. If he wanted to be out of touching range of clients, shouldn't he move the dang chair before the client enters the room?
My therapist is an entirely different matter. If he were to ask me to sum up how I'm doing in exactly one word, he wouldn't be shocked to hear "annoyed".
I'm sorry you had a frustrating experience with your pdoc. Pdocs can be like that, at least in my experience. May blessings shower down on the ones who seem to care.
