When I told Dr. Sharma that I felt like everythng he was giving me was only making me worse. He took it as an insult and yelled at me calling me pathetic. Sad thing is my counselor was in there and did nothing. I ran out. They did no follow up. I had a suicide attempt 2 days later (many over the years before that). Went cold turkey off meds for 2 yrs. Had to go back to see a psych doc and turns out that the anti-depressants made me suicidal. Haven't taken any since that day and not one attempt. Struggle miserably with depression, but no attempts because I have a good pdoc now that won't give me anti-depressants.

When I told Dr. Sharma that I felt like everything he was giving me was only making me worse. He took it as an insult and yelled at me calling me pathetic. You don't call someone struggling with major depression pathetic if you're a psychiatrist!!!! Sad thing is my counselor was in there also because she didn't know how more to help me either and she did nothing. I ran out crying to never return. They did no follow up. I had a suicide attempt 2 days later(many over the years before that). I could have died due to his arrogance, lack of care and knowledge in this field. I went cold turkey off my pmeds for 2 yrs. I said I would never trust this field ever again and tried to stay away. Had to go back to see a psych doc due to major depression and turns out that the anti-depressants made me suicidal. Haven't taken one since that day and not one attempt either. Struggle miserably with depression, but no attempts because I have a good pdoc now that won't give me anti-depressants! That is why they are black labeled now!
