Hey, I'm dumping my psychiatrist tomorrow for the following reasons, are the!

If thats how you feel than its a good reason!. But I do think its harsh!. Maybe you could just talk it out with her, maybe she doesnt even know shes doing it!. And if you give her that tomorrow shes probably going to be surprized but she wont stop you, Im sure!. In my opinion you need to feel comfortable with whoever your therapist is, so if shes not the one for you, than its good that you know that now, but theres really no reason to get mean about it!. Good luck!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

Hey There ? Yeah I would have to say that the letter u have written to your Dr!. is a tad bit harsh lol but it sounds to me like u have every reason to be upset with her, U know how some Dr!.s say to write a letter to yourself or to someone that hurt u in the past and then throw it away well maybe u should do that!.I say that because I have heard of Dr!.s messing with their patients and making it harder on them when they go to a new Dr so be careful!. Also why do u have to tell her!? I changed my Dr!. who omg I think he had more severe problems than what I had at the time lol Anyways I didn't tell him I was leaving him and I said I needed a refill on my meds because I wouldn't be able to make in next time and I also asked my primary for a refill just until I found a new Dr!.I found a new Dr and when I was asked why I left him I was honest with her and I told her he wasn't helping me at all !.U have no obligations to tell her that is if u didn't sign a paper!.But if u want to tell her I would re write that letter and rephrase it all even if it's the truth!. I don't think u want that letter coming back and biting u in the butt know what I mean!? good luck to you p!.s i liked ur letter heheheheh lolWww@Answer-Health@Com

As a psychology major, I wouldn't even give them a reason as to why you are changing doctors!. If they are professional, then they don't need one!. No need to explain yourself to someone who gets paid to listen to you!. Just simply ask for a referral to another doctor and live on!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

They are good reasons, but you may need to re-word it so you don't offend them!. You can be harsh without being insulting!. Good luck with this though, its hard to make improvments when you feel like you are not getting much help from your psychiatrist!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

Sounds like you would prefer a "yes man" to a psychiatrist!.

You are overreacting!. If you don't like him, stop going to see him!.

You don't hire a psychiatrist or therapist to tell you that you are doing everything right!.!.!. the whole reason to seek help is because something is wrong!

And until you are ready to hear the cold, hard, truth without getting so offended, you might as well save your money!.

If all you are looking for is a congratulations on your promotion, ask your friends and family!. It's free from them!!!

it sounds like you might need to get another psychiatrist!. she should have been pleased that you had a job!. not critized you about not having another already--because jobs are hard to find, especially with benefits!. she dont seem to know how the real world and economy is!. just because she has her future made;, she dont take into consideration how the other side has to survive!. i think you are right in your opinion!. there are not a lot of good paying jobs out there with benifits anymore!. times are hard, and getting harder!. ask her how she would feel "if" she had to live the way most people do!. get her response on that!. she does not show empathy and is too judgemental!. she is in the wrong profession!. i agree with you!. good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Firstly you may wish to reword your letter in such a way that it doesnt offend the psychiatrist so that they give you a referral to a nice psychiatrist!. Secondly it may not give you the kind of reaction that you were expecting!. Something like!.!.!.


Dear Dr!. !.!.!.,
I regret to inform you that I wish to be referred to another psychiatrist!.

I feel that having taken 225mg of Effexor since last June, even though I cant afford it, has affected me financially!.
I feel that my plans for my future are in hand and that Im making good money in the summer, although I agree with you that I need to find a full-time job in order to afford a good psychiatrist and the medications!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I'm pretty sure that if you send this letter to her she will willingly refer you to another psychiatrist - enclosing a copy of the letter to warn her what she will be up against in her new patient!.

You have every right to request a second opinion - perhaps handle the situation with a little more maturity though and discuss the issues like an adult!. Don't hide behind a letter - go face to face and speak to her!.

But do you really want to start all over again with a new Doctor!? Www@Answer-Health@Com
