I've encountered a lot of bias from therapy professionals and GP's against seeing others who prescribe psych meds b/c they are against medication therapy. They believe whole-heartedly in therapy or against having too many drugs in one's system. This debate goes on all the time. For me with depression early on treated by only therapy that didn't help, I needed the medication to begin to come out of it and then therapy helped. Then diagnosed with BP in my 20's, I cannot function w/out the meds. So I have this debate often with professionals. I do currently have a GP who is hesitant about meds but has only seen me functioning on them; but helps keep the pdoc in check.

The other times there has been a disgruntled doc or therapist, as you mentioned, have been by asking to see someone else, either for second opinions or additional treatment. I know sometimes they see you asking to see someone else as questioning their judgement or that you see them as failing you in some way. It isn't professional on their part but a personal issue; it can be discussed to better explain your position and that it is nothing personal and if they still don't understand to ignore it. Your health is what matters most.

It is good you are seeking help and do what works for you. Best wishes.
