You are definitely not alone.
Most psychiatrists don't care. We are just meat to them that needs to be medicated. Some over medicate to the point that living a meaningful life is impossible because of all the severe side effects. A lot of them cannot diagnose properly. A misdiagnosis often leads to inappropriate and traumatic treatment.
I was misdiagnosed, given a lot of medication, ignored and assumed. It was hell. I'm still recovering from their 'superb' work.

It depends. The first psychiatrist I met was affiliated with the University of Ottawa medical school and she was terrible. I mean really terrible. Just thinking about her makes me angry because she emotionally butchered me. She misdiagnosed me, withheld that diagnosis, and put me on an antidepressant that made me think of suicide constantly. Whenever I saw her she just stared at me in silence as she put her fingers up her nose. I'd sue her if I could.
