I was lucky to have him take me as a patient when I saw him in out patients at the hospital. It is a long wait to get a psychiatrist. He is the third psychiatrist I’ve had in my lifetime but not the best one. Yes he follows your medical file closely but other than trying medication after medication I don’t find that when it comes to listening and providing solutions for what you are going through, that he is very effective. Yes medication helps but the therapy part is important to and I do not feel listened to, I don’t feel I get a chance to answer questions fully and I don’t feel understood. I feel like he just hears part of the problem and is quick to write another prescription. I have started reading my own cognitive behavioural therapy books in order to get a better understanding of what it is that I am experiencing and trying to find some answers. I am thinking of just asking my family doctor who listens and understands very well to take over my medications and just talk to him instead of continuing with Dr. Anthony. I feel that my physician has more time and interest in listening to all I need to say. I just feel unheard and misunderstood and why have two doctors that can write prescriptions and only one that listens and gets all the facts instead of cutting you off mid answer to move on to the next question when you haven’t fully answered the first question. How can you prescribe me proper medications when you don’t listen to all the facts.
