I'm scheduled to see my Psychiatrist next week and I don't want to go. I've left a message for him saying that I'm fine and don't need to see him if he doesn't need to see me. No answer back yet.
He's just so cold. He won't even look at me. He keeps his eyes on his computer or notes. I do think that he is this way with everyone so I try not to take it personally. But if I can avoid seeing him I will. He makes me feel like he doesn't believe me, that I'm to blame for anything that I suffer and that I'm not trying to help myself. So why would I put pressure on myself to see him? |

That's tough. My hematologist is like that. He doesn't even turn to say goodbye. He just says with his back to me "you can go now". I can't imagine having someone like this as my psychiatrist. Is there any way you could go to a different doctor. I notice you are from Canada so it might not be as easy as it is here in the US. I would definitely try to find a new one. Best wishes.

I would find a new pdoc - personally, I prefer NP of Psych, they can prescribe the same meds but have training in alliance building with the client. I can't even stand regular doctors I don't know what I would do if my Pdoc acted the way my regular doctors do... or worse, like yours.
I am not sure if this is practical in Canada either though. What are your options?

I would like to second finding a new pdoc.
I had one who was similar and he ended up doing more harm than good. |

Because you want this situation to be dealt with in as quick and easy way possible?
I would definitely think about confronting your doctor though - try and be as neutral as possible but make it clear that you're unsure his approach is suitable for you. If he reacts negatively or with indifference then there's your warning sign that it's probably best to start looking for someone else. I hope you come to some resolution
