In the military psych ward I had a doc clutch his leg and he made a fist like he wanted to punch me. Complete jerk. Started asking me about throwing rocks in glass houses. He was just trying to scare me.
Sorry, friend. Not all pdocs are polite or respectful. The important thing is whether or not they get your meds right. With NHS you guys can’t just request different doctors, right? If you’re stuck with him, maybe you can write down your questions ahead of time, so if his rudeness flusters you, you can still remember what you wanted to ask.
My belief is that some psychiatrists feel threatened mentally,not physically, by intelligent patients. It’s harder for them to play the ‘Human God’ to mere human role in such circumstances.
He is so full of contradictions. One minute he is saying this latest episode isn’t psychosis because I can talk in sentences. Next thing he is saying I can go inpatient for six weeks to start clozapine.
they probably get a lot of people in psychosis which can be difficult. Seeing 20 very emotional, sometimes violent, or suffering from serious delusions can probably get stressful and scary. Im sure they get atleast one person per day who has a history of being violent so they never know whats gonna happen
