They spend their day and night dealing with patients (remember the long waiting list), and some even do research. It's not their fault.

Our human body is very complex and we cannot do anything about it. That's only the reason as we know it we are the kings of the universe. It'll be another century or two before we finally cure mental illness, if we are lucky.

But that doesn't mean you cannot change doctors and/or therapists. My psych doc doesn't give me therapy either (not to bash him) but it's simply the fact, some conditions cannot be helped. But most should be. There are over 400 drugs available for neurological disorders. But I don't believe there are that many for psychiatric ones.

If nothing is working, it doesn't mean it won't in future either. Your psych doc found out that your body cannot handle any psych medication, that's probably why you aren't on any meds. It's like how anxiety isn't usually treated by anti-anxiety pills.

Best of luck. I am not asking you to waste your money on appointments any further, but if you do get worse (as observed by others) I suggest you not hate your psychiatrist and talk to him about it, as opposed to keeping it a secret.
When did I say I hated my psychiatrist? When did I bash him? And not having meds isn't his fault, as I said it's my insurance company that has the problem. My insurance believes they know better than my pdoc and want me on a list of meds I've already taken, all with no positive outcome.
