I'd appreciate your opinions of something a psychiatrist did - is this normal?

[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 486029"] I don't blame him for not wanting to go back. I would talk to the psychotherapist about the visit with the psychiatrist and THEN tell them you are going to look for a different psychiatrist but hope that difficult child can continue to see them for therapy. If the therapist won't do that, then I guess you might have to give that up but I can't see that happening. Having a psychiatrist do something so drastic on a first visit to damage a person's self-esteem is NOT a good practice and I would seriously question their methods. Finding a different, and hopefully better, psychiatrist is better than no psychiatrist at all. You NEED to have difficult child properly diagnosed. Kudos to the doctor for not prescribing medications. Since there is no diagnosis then how would they know what kind of medications to try. Sorry you had a rough night. Do you have any idea what triggered it? If you go back before the first hint of trouble can you figure out what might have started the downhill spiral tonight? [/QUOTE]
