My last one was good. He put me on disinigrating tablets. kept me at very low doses . He wasn't the best listener but wasn't scared of crisis. I've had some very very bad psychiatrists. Up until 3 years ago I did not have an AP.

One of the psychiatrists use to ask every visit whether I needed to be hospitalized. The answer probably yes. She eventually wanted me tested for a learning disability, that I had a personality disorder and meds wouldn't help. Unfortunately she was my only option. She knew my husband was controlling and pushed him to be more controlling "for my safety". This is the same Pdoc that dx.'d my husband with depression and anger issues. When he was in an angry mania. She said I couldn't be BP because I can think about consequences.
