I was booked in to see a psychiatrist at 16:00, but the appointment only started at 16:25. There was no consulting room, so we walked around different rooms, and various doctors came in and out — in effect, as a patient I had no confidentiality. Also, at reception I warned them that I needed a prescription for tablets. The doctor said she could not write a prescription. I explained that 4 psychiatrists had agreed on my diagnoses and that the prescription was necessary, as withdrawal syndrome could occur, which is life-threatening. I was told that they believed I did not have such diagnoses and that I was strong and would cope on my own, even though I had also spoken about suicide attempts, and that means pharmacological treatment is necessary for me. Even if antidepressants are not suitable, a prescription is still needed to avoid withdrawal syndrome. The doctor also said that with depression people supposedly always sleep little, which is untrue, and this is confirmed by clinical studies.
