In reply to Egotistical Psychiatrists Who Are Control Freaks!, posted by jay on November 4, 2001, at 2:37:38

I was just saying we don't have to put up with their b.s., and yes we can go out and search for a good one. That's all...

> 2)Righteous a**holes! One time I was asking about a certain med, and was told.."Are you educating me?", in a sarcastic mode! I SHOULD have reported this jerk to our medical board, because this made me feel smaller than a piece of dog dung! I also one time came well on-time for an appointment, and he was running late. I had work 1 hour after my appointment, and he made me wait an extra 35 minutes!!! When I got into his office 35 minutes later, and told him I had to be at work in 25 minutes, he got all pi**ed off and scolded me, telling me I was wrong for coming in so close to my work time!!! Never mind the fact HE was the one who was late!!!!!!!!!

> 3) A REFUSAL to prescribe anything but antidepressants, and if I was lucky, benzos. Despite the tons of research I was bringing in on everything from mood stabalizers to atypical antipsychotics useful in treatment-resistant depression, they flat-out REFUSED to even listen, or consider. Somehow,I was *nothing*...period! For my aggitated depression, antidepressants alone made me HORRIBLE....and I could have ended uplike one of those suicides who do so because of the horrible aggitation a.d's can cause.(Without a mood stabalizer or such.) Thankfully, I have a wonderful, VERY kind, family doc, who had NO PROBLEM in putting up with going through a massive number of med mixes until we found something to relieve the symptoms. It has only been finally within the last few months with him that I have found a mix to get better, compared to the NOWHERE I got with 9 years of the psychiatrists.

> So...I guess I am interested in hearing other views and stories. (Good or bad) As far as I am concerned, having that 'Psychiatrist' diploma on the wall means jack-s**t...very, very, VERY little, and think many of us could even do a much better job then many of them ever could dream of. I also think more of us should complain to our medical boards, and get them revoked if we can.
>
> My family doc is a FAR better psychiatrist then many I have met could ever dream of. I think many who become psychiatrists do so because they have MANY issues to deal with themselves, and transfer them onto their clients. Sorry, but many seem like Nazi control-freaks who are miserable s.o.b.'s, and should get out of the house a bit more!
