Mine is just blah, I get my meds from him and he listens to me talk. That’s about it, no real therapy or insights

I really like my psychiatrist, she’s awesome. She gives me options and we decide together what my treatment will be, unlike other psychiatrists I’ve had who just told me what to do.

She has given me advice several times.

I’ve only seen her once but she’s great, my new psychiatrist. I previously saw a psychiatrist who used a standing desk for 9 months and he was the worst psychiatrist I ever had. I blame the standing desk, who would endure that torture willingly?

Mine is the best I’ve ever had. He actually makes eye contact rather than spending the whole time at his computer. He writes notes on a notepad and is very thorough. He gives great advice and knows his stuff. I lucked out with him.
My last pdoc just sucked. He had a big head. I think his tie was too tight.

I really like my pdoc. I have been seeing her for several years now. She is very thorough and really knows her stuff.
I like mine but he doesn’t really do any sort of therapy or helping me with symptoms in any way other than medication. But he’s good at what he does do and he’s very personable and listens to my complaints.

I like my psychiatrist. She’s very easy to talk to and nonjudgemental, she never seems to react badly to my weird and dark thoughts, she just takes things on board and the way she speaks to me makes me feel as though I am an equal, not just another statistic as I’ve felt from some psychiatrists.
My current one is good, she knows I would rather be on the injection. We’re working towards that slowly. I would like to raise the dose of the tardive dyskinesia med but she hasn’t answered me yet. But Wednesdays are her busiest day.
The worst doctors I’ve had four terrible ones three were females named Karen. The one that was the worst but me on extremely low doses of meds and refused to raise them.
Mine is a sweet grandpa

Not really. Not after screaming at me in the ward.

I like my psychiatrist. He’s really nice and a very good doctor.
I like my psychiatrist. He is very kind and listens to me. He has a lot of experience dealing with people with sz.
I don’t like psychiatrists. They really have no idea of the torture the medications cause. I will never be seeing a psychiatrist again, unless there is a reason to. I get my scripts from my general practitioner (family doctor).

I like mine he’s a good listener seems interested in my experiences and works with me and makes me an active participant in my treatment. I like him enough to stick with him even though he doesn’t take insurance.
Medical practitioners really don’t have any idea how horrible side effects can be I’ve come to realize that as well it really surprised me. It made me realize we have a role as patients to educate our healthcare providers in this because it’s something you can’t know unless you’ve experienced it. I always make sure to be very clear on the severity and extent of side effects.
I’ve also had the frustrating situation where providers just didn’t believe me either about the side effects or their severity. In which case I would just drop the medication on my own. Let’s just say they learned from their mistakes and started listening to me.
