I saw my first pdoc for about a year, he was very condescending. I would tell him a medicine wasn't helping my depression, and he would say, "Well what are you expecting it to do? It won't magically make you happy." like no s--t, but i feel like being able to get out of bed and go to work is not asking for much...
I just started seeing my new pdoc two weeks ago. He is nice and he listens, although he talked over me once which irritated me. But I talk over others sometimes so it would only bother me if he continues to do it. He has a tendency to chuckle when talking about uncomfortable things (for instance, he laughed as he told me that anorexia is the most fatal mental illness) which is super odd but whatever. As far as giving me information about medication and listening to me when I talk about my symptoms, which is the whole point of why I see him, I like him.
