alantam, I am sorry you had to experience it. I will consider your advice, but I will give my current therapist at least one more try. I do keep myself occupied, I play video games all the time.

GreyThinker, yes I get the same impression also, but then again I don't know because I don't get the chance to see how he acts to other people who are depressed. I have an appointment for another Psychiatrist coming up soon, its just going to be another experiment.

lindammarie, I'm not sure I know the answer yet.

montanan4ever, I'm not so sure if those roles would be wrong for a therapist. What if that is what I need? Seems like they should do whatever works. What he is doing now isn't working. No, after that we sat for 30 minutes in silence, until he asked me what I was thinking. Then it was time to go. And I've flat out told him that the sessions felt worthless and unhelpful. Then he just started saying his speel about giving him one final session to tell him what he did "wrong".

I was utterly shocked with my 2nd psychiatrist, I couldn't believe what he was telling me. After I told him I stopped taking the Prozac because I was having a reaction to the drug he told me I just have to keep taking it for the two weeks, then come back to see him. I told him I could be endangering other people not to mention myself, and asked how am I supposed to drive to work and drive with these symptoms? He said: "Plenty of other people drive and work every day on the medication". Then I said, well I am different. Then he said, "Yes you are very different" and told me I was just skeptical and a complainer. I was so pissed that I thought I was going to reach across his desk and punch him out. I went through so much ******** at that place it is really sickening. At least now with that behind me I will be able to think more about what I will say to another psychiatrist.
