I had a pdoc start doing the "substance abuse assessment" (as she called it) part of the session...first session. And asked me about drinking. I said I don't drink...because I don't. She was like, "Are you sure, because oftentimes people with anxiety like to have at least a drink or two to take the edge off of their day!" Excuse me, so you WANT me to drink, and you think I am lying?? She didn't believe I didn't do recreational drugs either.

The session got so bad when she questioned my mother's (who is now deceased) neurological illness and how it really affected her (and me) as I was growing up that I got up and walked out.

I looked her up online later and found a ton of reviews by other people supporting my experience. She shouldn't be allowed to practice psychiatry, period.
