Else,I've had some *major* (and by *major* I mean MAJOR) problems in the past with mental health professionals, including psychiatrists, who have abused their position of power. I can't trust any of them and have vowed that I will never see another psychiatrist as long as I live.
Also, the psychiatrists I have seen invariably become extremely frustrated with my problems in tolerating medications, although I have not been able to tolerate *any* medication other than hormones - not just psychotropics - on a long-term basis.
Several of my psychiatrists have told me they believe my inability to tolerate medications has a psychological rather than a physiological basis. The rest just made comments that insinuated that that was what they believed.
That attitude does wonders for the treatment relationship.I also find it interesting that I need antihistamines and a number of other medications to help me get over these "psychological" reactions.
