about halfway through he stopped and called my dad in and said there was nothing he could do for me and recommended I go back to the emergency room and possibly be emitted to an institution LOL.
LOL
No friggin way.
Few things lead to me think he is a quack. 1) His main priority would have been to schedule multiple sessions no matter your condition. Every psych does this, they need “repeat” costumers just to make a living. They also need multiple sessions to truly figure you out. You could be the devil and be completely insane, and most psychs would want you to come back if not to try to help. 2) While it may or may not have been true, a psych like that is in no position to tell you to get committed. Especially after one session? How the hell would he even know you?
I would before you do anything (ie. antidepressants or whatnot) find a second psych and see what they think. Like “de nudes” said, a good psych can help a lot. A bad one can make things worse.
PS. I tend to have a highly negative look on psychs. I’ve only been to one or two that actually seemed to care and didn’t just seem interested in my wallet. Might just be Connecticut for you.
