    I found Pritesh Shah's name in my contact list- saved as 'Terrible Doctor.' It's been years since I…read morejoined in on a session with a close family member to help her deal with trauma and I wanted to write a review before I deleted his contact from my phone. He is a heartless man, and I recall when attempting to speak, he would immediately interrupt you by loudly tapping his pen against his desk and saying 'silence!'

    I'm sure that the two reviews are from genuinely appreciative people, and Shah diagnosed them…read morecorrectly. As for myself, Dr. Shah destroyed my life. He saw me 7 years ago for about 10 minutes, told me I was bipolar and prescribed me a heavy dose of an anti-seizure medication and high dosage of anti-depressant. Convinced I was bipolar for 2 years, I joined support groups, went to meetup groups, etc. After soul searching for those years, I knew I couldn't be bipolar; I was not at all like those I met. I saw another psychologist (a smart one) who helped me realize my anxiety levels- To put it simply, I was right. No chemical imbalance, no sickness, no nothing. My "episodes" were bouts of anxiety, not chemical imbalances. Since moving from NJ, I have seen other doctors to help me get off of it, but to no avail. This medication is ruining my life, all thanks to Shah who took my money for 10 minutes of his time, and 5 minutes for the next appointment. By the way, the 2nd appointment consisted of me telling him the dosage was too high, so he lowered it and told me good luck in college. Oh, and he failed to mention the side effects: Steven Johnson's Syndrome (fatal rash- yes, fatal) and grand mal seizures if weaned off it too quickly. I'm 28 years old, ready to have a baby. This medication is incredibly harmful for pregnancy (4 out of 5). About 3 times a week, I suffer from migraines that last half a day; two doctors told me it's drug-related (the anti-seizure med). Conclusion: I've reached out to other patients who've mentioned that Shah is quick to put labels on your "condition". I'm sure he's right sometimes, which is why he got two stellar reviews. But please, get a second opinion; do not see a psychiatrist without seeing a psychologist first. I don't mean to offend anyone either. But I wake up every morning taking this unnecessary pill, and afraid for my life to get off it. If anyone in Shah's office reads these reviews, feel free to respond.
