Went to see new psy. Dr. Today because the state offered a grant for mental health services. I felt like I was just another cattle coming through. She would ask me or say some strange things. You can tell that she new nothing about me and tried to pick out things on my history real fast. I was not happy with her when I left. I am telling myself I rather pay my old psy.dr cash before I would see her again. I know I should be thankful for the free care, but that is one dr. I would not like to share my life with. It seems that I stay much healthier away from these weird doctors.

I am sorry that you didn't have a good experience with this doctor. Finding the right psychiatrist is so important, especially when you need them to help you through the most intimate parts of your life.

Speaking from experience with several horrible psychiatrists and counsellors, sometimes they can do more harm than good. A lot of times I left feeling worse off than when I came in, because they either didn't listen to me, didn't seem to care, and were condescending. Thankfully now I have a fantastic counsellor who takes a holistic approach to mental health - she's really into meditation and I find that's what works best for me.

I'm sorry this doctor didn't work out, you deserve one who is caring and is going to be helpful for you.

you should've heard my counselor one time. I had mentioned I was afraid of my stomach problems and she proceded to tell me how somebody she new had stomach problems and it kept getting misdiagnosed and finally found out too late that it was cancer...then she looks at me like oops...I forgot you had health anxiety problems.Even if its free if its not beneficial you will be wasting your time.

I have thought this over about the dr. I just get bad vibes talking to her. I also need paper work filled out down the road. I told my husband that I wouldn't want her filling it out. The only reason I changed is because I lost my insurance and waiting for Medicare to kick in. My old dr still would take me back, she just thought it would help if I didn't have to drop so much money. I guess you get what you pay for. Learned lesson!
