I'm not entirely sure what I was expecting, but I'm fairly certain it wasn't what I got; to leave feeling more on edge/uneasy/confused than I came there feeling. Perhaps it was being interrupted when answering questions, or the long silences that occurred when I wasn't interrupted, followed by a chuckle and the words, 'well, I'm not entirely sure what you were hoping to get from this session/how I can help you'. It could have also been, 'well, you could go back on X medication, if you want to.' after the mention of just how badly X medication affected me in the past and that I wasn't interested in medication. Was I supposed to diagnose myself and choose my own medication? Was I coming to a psychiatrist for a reason? Putting this review up is giving me enough anxiety as all I see is good reviews about him, how on earth did I not experience this? I feel like if I'd seen him two months earlier when I was in a far more fragile state, this session could have caused a horrific amount of trauma. There is absolutely no way I could recommend this psychiatrist to anyone, considering what I experienced. I am glad other people have had positive sessions with him, but I certainly did not leave feeling like anything positive happened; if anything, It caused more issues that I will have to talk through with my psychologist, thankfully someone I do feel comfortable with. I suppose the most important thing is, I don't have to see him again. read more
