A previous psychiatrist that I had would spend the time yawning and examining the patterns on his tie.
My sister still goes to the same psychiatrist. He has made inappropriate comments about her body that would seriously border on hitting on her. She puts up with it and continues to go to him so she can get her meds.
My mother sees him, too (yes, my entire family is medicated). I don't know what my mother tells him about how she's doing (but I know she doesn't tell him about all of her abnormal behavior), but anyone could tell she continues to decline just by looking at her appearance. He does nothing about this, and has had her on the same anti-depressant (now at a very low dose) for about 13 years now-- and research has shown that when you are on an SSRI for a long period of time it ends up losing effectiveness, so it is advised to change the medication. This information, combined with just looking at my mother, should let him know that he should suggest some changes.
I moved out of the state so I don't see him anymore.
