Nah. Doctors don’t have the time to come on here and bug us. It’s just some of the paranoia that comes along with the sz/sza. And it’s bs that they are making you justify your diagnosis. Are you on trial or something?! That pisses me off so much for you because I’ve had it happen to me. Before official diagnosis I was told by one pdoc that I was just lazy. They set me back years in getting real help. I’m so sorry you are going through this.

Not on trial.. dr said hes not going by the history from the psych ward.. but ya inwas mad when he said that. And hes talking about me saying I should get a job. I dont like him and I seen him 3 times.. on to the next one. I miss my old dr soo much.. he had heart problems and cut loose most of us.. he actually cared u know?? Talk to u for 30 mins Josh shoot the breeze and it was comfortable. These idiots I been working with now I dont like them

My current pdoc is good like that. They are hard to find. Keep looking; there has to be a caring person out there somewhere.

I went to the ER a couple nights ago cuz I’m having shortness of breath and chest pain…the doc spent most of the time asking me what my psych meds were treating. After 5 hours in the ER he said it was likely “anxiety” even tho i saw my EKG was abnormal. I was discharged and still am having shortness of breath…i was totally gaslighted cuz my psych history was all over my files. I’m really pissed about it…

I really hope so:( I should move to a big city
Some psychiatrists ask dumb questions just to see how you will react. I’m not sure exactly what each could be looking for, but one pdoc who was asian asked me if I was asian. I kind of figured right away it was one of those questions to see how I would respond so I just said “No”, but for days after that question and other things he said agitated me and I kept thinking of ways I should have responded. Probably if I were to have responded in an agitated way he would keep trying to agitate me.

Yeah thats the kind of stuff I think of doing too, smartass stuff, but its not the safest situation to be a smartass. I wouldn’t really even say much to the dr unless its to get benefits or I genuinely need relief from something.

These doctors don’t know everything.
The current psychiatrist I have is ok but doesn’t come close to how caring my last psychiatrist was.
Unfortunately she retired.
I still miss her.

I had a therapist who was a smart azz. He kept questioning my diagnosis. I told him I didn’t want to believe I had schz because no one would hire me for work, so I downplayed my symptoms. He had trouble believing me. I stopped seeing him because he would sleep half my visit even start snoring and he would just tell me try to look on the positive side of everything. He was gonna retire in a year. Full of entitlement. He did zero work for me. Piece of crap he was.

One of my first psychiatrists was criminal.
He kept me on an a powerful tricyclic antidepressant for years even though it made me completely manic.
He would fall asleep during our sessions too.
What a piece of shitt he was

In general sense I do not appreciate the sperficial, cursory, pretty subjective seeming examination conducted by psy-docs and throwing meds at your general direction in pretty randomly seeming fashion. And the fact you should just passively submit to whatever God awful treatment while carrying around mental health stigma sustained by said people, it really pisses me off. Pretty unhelpful stuff really, and frustrating to witness psychiatry is so basic compared to say physical illnesses treatment.

Could be that he’s just trying to find out if you have insight, if you think symptoms are part of the disease etc, or if you’re completely out of it. I think if you would’ve said the part about “off all these pills” that you could in turn at least see if your pdoc had any sense of humor
