That’s perfectly normal.
What I wanna know is if he wanted to kill his psychiatrist or “bang” them.
And if it was a male or female lol.
Hopefully he gets back to me.
For me it was both females and males but I am only into girls, heterosexual. Delusions didn’t change my sexuality.
I didn’t want to. Like I said in OP ‘them’ made me.
She was female, which was cool. But then I got some old guy for a pdoc when I was discharged from the hospital.
Lol okay,
So males arent cool ??

I prefer seeing female psychiatrists and therapists, even female case managers.
My first two psychiatrists were male and they were abusive.
Never again.
HBO’s In Treatment, Season 1. It’s called transference.
What the hell is Transference ? 
I don’t care. I can’t talk about everything with my male psychiatrist, I think he’s very nice to me though. He gives me prescriptions for other medications, massage paper when I ask for it. But he’s not able to help me a lot with my symptoms. I had a female psychiatrist she was the smartest psychiatrist I had, I wish I can go back to her. She was tough and smart, nailed my medications.
I’m a male, and I thought I needed to have a female psychiatrist. I’m still now sure that is wrong. I am a male, but male pdoc’s are often sexually threatening to me. I’m not gay. I guess I am a little homophobic. I’ve also realized that female pdoc’s can be problematic too. I think Freud would say that my prognosis for psychotherapy isn’t good.
I seem to have a different shrink everytime my review is due. But i preferred my old female psychiatrist - not because of her gender, she just was the most talkative.
The last male one just stared at me for 10 minutes, making me uncomfortable and made me paranoid that i was lying about my illness.
I spoke easier too with a trans female - cos she made me feel comfortable when discussing relationships and my sexuality.
Everyone of them on the whole has been ok tho.
I have a male psychiatrist. He is wonderful and so kind. I’m thankful for him.
@anongoodnurse Please explain transference to me !
I’ve had both male and female psychiatrists. All were good at their jobs. My first pdoc trusted me. She would give me a new Rx for an ap, and give me a Rx for the ap I was comfortable taking, in case I never liked how the new antipsychotic made me feel. That was hard to word. She also leant me books from her office and gave me her email address. She’s retired now though
You can google it, but it’s when you mistake the intimacy of the therapeutic relationship for a romantic energy.
I’m a male but still I prefer a female psychiatrist. I feel like women are more compassionate and understanding. But when it comes to sexual side effects…yeah I don’t really bring them up. I save those for my doctor. He’s a man, so he understands.
I see a female psychiatrist. I’ve seen men in the past. To me it’s about whether or not they listen and understand.

It doesn’t matter to me as long as they are helpful and understanding and actually listen
