As a PhD Intern and having worked many years in a private psychiatric hospital I am deeply troubled…read moreby Dr Teague. After I referred a young woman who experienced a series of very severe and traumatic situations, Dr Teague diagnosed her with PTSD. This was an appropriate diagnosis. After she returned to Teague over a year later and due to a troubling experience at a job. Dr. Teague announced at the beginning of her second session that he would not treat her because he decided to diagnose her with an Axis II personality disorder. This is flippant, In my opinion. He had not seen her for over a year, his original diagnosis did not include an axis II personality disorder. Additionally, diagnosing a patient with an axis II personality disorder after one visit is in my professional and personal opinion, unethical. This type of diagnosis ought to be given after years of consistent and particularly troubling behavior. Also with referrals to at least two or three other psychiatrists. Psychiatrists who arrive at the same diagnosis. This is what I was taught as a graduate psychology student at Pepperdine University. Moreover, this is the basic standard at the psychiatric hospital where I was employed and as far as I know most psychiatric hospitals in general. Some post graduate schools go so far as to teach that the DSM, therefore an axis II diagnosis is more damaging than helpful and choose not to teach this diagnostic psychiatry or therapy. Luckily, the young woman is not aware of the gravity of such a severe diagnoses. Having worked on a locked psychiatric unit I am familiar with axis II personality disorders and this young woman in no way fits this type of diagnosis. What is unusual and a concern is that this psychiatrist would give such a diagnosis after only one visit. This in of itself, at the very least inclined to be below the standards of what one would expect of a qualified well-educated professional psychiatrist. In all my years of work and education, Teague handled the situation in a way that could be damaging. Additionally, he informed her that he had consulted with other psychiatrists about her. This is very unusual. Especially since she had not agreed nor had he discussed this with her. Additionally, she had not signed a waiver or release to speak about her case to anyone else. I am sorry that I took a battle scarred, rattled, emotionally vulnerable, broken young woman to see Teague in the first place. Unfortunately it is psychiatrists of this type that are damaging and are at least in part the cause of the collapse of quality mental health treatment in the United States. In my opinion, Dr Teague ought to be ashamed of himself. I am extremely disappointed in this particular psychiatrist. Nonetheless, at the same time I do know there are several dedicated, kind and helpful psychiatrists that are in practice in Santa Barbara. In my personal opinion, and I have worked alongside many psychiatrist, Dr Teague treated this young woman very poorly. Additionally it is with a heavy heart that I leave such a poor review of Dr Teague. Actually, I have chosen not to include several other troubling interactions I personally have had with Dr Teague. My reasons for leaving this review is mixed. I feel angry and betrayed additionally the woman trusted me to help her and I feel I let her down. Moreover, I do believe in Yelp, this is my experience with this psychiatrist. Readers are free to do what they will with my review. I would have much rather left a glowing review of Dr Teague and how wonderful he helped this young woman put her life back together. Unfortunately there's no way I could feel in tune with myself unless I expressed what happened. Sadly I have witnessed others having these types of experiences, therefore, I felt it was important to leave this review.
