      Stop gaslighting your patients. and when your patient ask you for a referral for a psychiatrist just give it to them, don’t completely change their medication when it’s been working and doing the job just because you don’t agree, the appointments are about the patient not about the doctor. Stop treating your patients as drug addicts When they take the medicine how it’s prescribed and it’s been working for them. When you rip somebody off their medication that they’ve been on for years it interrupts their life process, days, and daily activities for months. Now I’m suffering worse than I was before I ever was on the medication that my doctor took me off. My anxiety has been horrendous and it’s like the doctor believes it isn’t real even though he knows nothing about my day today and everything I have to deal with. but all these doctors don’t want to help you because they’re not able to prescribe because they’re scared. I could go break my leg right now and I bet you I would get zero pain medication at all. it’s insane that these doctors don’t want to actually help their patients. all they wanna do is throw antidepressants at you and think it’s a cure all. I’ve tried my decent fair share of antidepressants and they do absolutely nothing for my anxiety! but my doctor doesn’t want to hear it.
