I have a mood disorder, panic attacks and PTSD.

I've been seeing a psychiatrist for about 4 years now. This may sound impossible but - when can you tell if your being manipulated by your doctor?

It's very confusing to me because I know and admit I have problems processing certain things for various reasons but I'm completely confident my psychiatrist is manipulating me.

I don't want this to sound like I'm losing it - I really want your opinion - honestly. After all these years if I cancel or try to change an appointment he becomes very upset - not my personal opinion, he really does get upset. Most recently when I left a message to cancel an appointment 5 days in advance, his return call said "so much for being nice - you cancelled your appointment. I guess that's what I get for being nice." Does this sound odd to you?

This call, because I didn't call him right back, within 24 hours he called me 7 times and the last message he left told me if I didn't call back and confirm another time and date the following week he would bill me for it. I called to cancel the appointment for the following week but if I don't call him back AGAIN he will bill me for it?

Does this sound odd to you? I have a huge problem with trust and I desperatly wanted someone I could see where I didn't feel like I had to weigh everything. I feel like he's trying to manipulate me because he wants me to come more frequently and if I miss an appointment or even tell him (at my appointment) I won't be coming the following week, he drills me and tells me unless he agrees to why I'm missing the appointment, I can't miss it and if I do, he will bill me.

Does this sound normal? Honestly, I'm confused.
