Why? He suggested I go to the hospital so he wouldn't have to do the Depakote blood tests on his own. Then once he had me trapped in the hospital he ordered Haldol! Aaaahhhh!!! And though I've had a bad reaction to Trazadone in the past, he took no notice of this and ordered it up for me. Only because I admitted myself voluntarily was I able to get out of this one on Depakote and Seroquel. Being young and female I am wondering about this Depakote thing though due to the 10 % chance of developing PCOS on Depakote, a risk not associated with being male. I heard my prescriber mocking another patient and rolling his eyes behind the patient's back. I believe in treating everyone like a human no matter how messed up they are and here he was mocking a patient and rolling his eyes. I shall not go back. When I am in his office I get a creepy feeling like we are not connecting at all and he is bored. I will find someone else.

I feel your pain. That would really bother me too.

something similar happened to me once except I caught him telling other people about me. I was so angry, but I never did anything about it except get more depressed afterwards.

I agree with finding a new person to go to.

It feels like no one will believe he really did this because he is the authority and I am just a patient.

Exactly. Crappy docs just move us around like meat until they are satisfied with what they see. It just feels more like quantity than quality. (idk if the quantity/quality saying works or not...it made sense to me)

This is not how it is with my therapist. With him, there is more than just "what you see is what you get"...we actually connect with each other and get places.

If you have no choice but to use him call Disability Rights in your state and tell them about his attitude. And how he treats his patents. DR is a patient advocacy organization.

Google his name and under reviews, state what his attitude is towards his clients and say you do not recommend him. Don't swear or use vendetta type words, just state that you have seen him being disrespectful and rolling his eyes towards patients.

These are some options available to us, you are right many times people disregard MI concerns. But we don't have to be completely powerless.

This is how my first psychiatrist was. She out right hated me. Please keep looking for a new psychiatrist.
