I flat out didn’t trust my previous psychiatrist. They retired and now I’ve got a new one. I’ve only met them once so far. So it’s early days.

I’ve learned to trust my doctor. I had paranoia when I started seeing her. I was afraid she’d send me to the hospital, so I told her I stopped hearing voices. I didn’t tell her I still hear one for a long time. Even with her knowing I hear a voice, She still lowered my dose a few weeks ago to help with side effects. She is decent and seems to have some compassion.

No. Rarely see the same doc more than once.

No. I don’t.

As a person I do, he is not unkind. But I don’t trust his medical advice.

I trust my therapist very much. My pdoc less but still enough to abide by his recommendations. It took me forever to get here but I trust my trust levels with both of them are appropriate I think.

I trust mine but I had to weed thru some asses before I found them.

Aw, that’s not very nice of him. :face_with_diagonal_mouth:

I really like my pdoc. She’s a good listener, gives good insight, and is caring.

Good luck with your visit, tomorrow!

I exchange a few sentences with my doctor over the phone every six weeks. He asks me how I’m doing. I say OK. He asks me about my medications. I say they’re fine. He says things sound pretty good . I say yeah. He says, Then I’ll see you in six weeks.

This is how it’s gone for four years. I learned that’s what he want to hear. I talk to my therapist about problems.

Well, when they keep giving wrong medicines and they shift every three to four appointments other than in-patient, it tends to be hard to trust them for me personally.

This seems to be all they care about these days

I remember when they used to treat mental illness

Now they withhold treatment unless you’re a suicide risk/risk to others

Don’t play that game anymore

I refuse to answer questions around risk and let them use their limited imagination

I am currently not seeing a psychiatrist but I trust my Gp.

She is lovely and thanks to her I’m nolonger anaemic.

I have had some psychiatrist who I felt didn’t care for me and who I didn’t trust but I’ve also had psychiatrist that I trust and that were lovely.

I trust my pdoc, he’s been good to me.

I just got a new gp, only met her once, but we hit it off right away, she seems very cool.

I’ve had pdocs in the past I didn’t like nor trust.

17

I don’t know if I trust my pdoc or not. Haven’t met her yet. My old pdoc just retired, so I’m nervous about the new one.

18

I see my pdoc every 6 weeks. Next Monday I see her again.

I trust that she helps me to live a life as normal as possible.

Whether I want a normal life is a different question.
