I called my psychiatrists office to make an appointment today and was informed that he has discharged me and I am no longer a patient.

A brief update about my history with him. I saw him for a year. He diagnosed me in half an hour and started the meds. Over time i started to feel very dismissed, he minimized my trauma and ignored blatent PTSD symptoms (while i was doing trauma therapy). He was condescending when i questioned him. He made insinuations about my sexuality, my character. I really feel he was intimidated by my intelligence.

He knew how I felt in some ways as my therapist did mention some things to help me assert myself. I was looking for a new psychiatrist and he knew that. He promised me from the start that he would figure out what is going on, that he wouldn't abandon me.

I find it really horrible that I wasn't informed I was being discharged. I should have been contacted regarding this. He should have waited until I had someone else lined up. I'm on mood stabilizers and anti psychotics for BiPolar Disorder. I really am screwed in the medication department now. I can't just not take my meds. No one in my area is accepting new patients.

He really failed me. I hope he knows that.

My T on the other hand (who works with him) has been very supportive. Apparently I'm not the only patient this has happened to. My T has suggested I file a complaint.

Does this sound unethical? Maybe I wasn't a perfect patient, but I'm not awful.
