Based on your description of how you were "diagnosed", I would call that psychiatrist and let them know you will be filing a formal complaint with the state medical board.
A diagnosis of mental disorder requires an examination of the patient primarily, and if other input is needed then interviews and other information (such as formal examinations that include scaled scores and are norm-referenced).
You also should have been given a formal evaluation of some kind. One "interview" of that short duration is insufficient for proper diagnostic information. To determine you were "hostile" to testing and making a diagnosis based on that opinion is malpractice.
Call and ask them for their malpractice insurance company information. Tell them that if this phony diagnosis is entered in your record you plan to sue. And notify them that if they file for insurance payment on it, you will tell your insurance company that he is making false claims of "assessment and evaluation" when that did not occur.
This is outrageous.
I do agree, I made many diagnoses while I was intern in med school, I don’t recall one where the patient was ignored. Nor from my colleagues. Not a single one. Because it is called "objective examination " (translated into into English), and the object is the patient.
The usual tool that works is this " I will accept your diagnosis and therapy on the condition that you state in a written statement that your diagnosis was made without interviewing the patient, refusing to interact with the patient when expressively asked by several times, because according to your practice it’s unnecessary to interview the patient and you refused it several times because you followed the best practice of your profession "
In front of the witness, in this case my wife, a lawyer.
He said that he is not going to do that and will do nothing with the visit (because he knows he fucked up, he made a diagnosis ‘in absentia’), allegedly due to me "being hostile " towards the interview (typical evidence is when someone asks you "are you going to ask me something?"), but your response is brilliant, I will check out if it works like this in this country.
Jokes aside this was predatory, is a private practice and it was quite the expensive visit, as with me it must be in English and his English is way more broken than mine (I had to fix his sentences and translate for him words from Polish because of that). The claim "diagnosis will be confirmed at the end of the therapy " is a catch 22 which is unethical.
My examination simply did not occur.
I’m most definitely going to follow your advice. Also getting a independent evaluation asap, as I am a ceo, president of the management board of my company and if this was ever to be on record that’s devastating for my position and trust towards the shareholders and investors. I know I would see this as a serious liability if I were in their shoes with an exposure in the millions.
The gaslighting was supreme, imagine he asked my wife "and does the people in this company exist, does your husband ever meet them in person or you never seen them?" which is ridiculous since my wife is also the legal proxy of 2 shareholders and the company lawyer…
Most definitely this is fishy, I will follow through and clear my name and profile with an independent evaluation.
5Decades, exactly my thinking too.
But how strange a consensus, one should not feel any residual anger at betrayal?
Being licensed in the medical profession as you are, means that many qualifying personal criteria have been met and must continue to be met, isn't that correct? So I am concerned about the possibility of the negative impact of a mental health diagnosis, and as we can only go by what we read here, I'm just concerned for how this process potentially could be used against a BS. Like many of us here.
His fundamentals for this diagnosis are based on (and forgive me for being graphic but those are the words of my wife, as he refused to interview me)
- he is present, positive, energetic and highly functional, for me and our daughter. The only thing that worries me is that he wants to divorce me because he is angry at my past cheating and the ones that I just confessed. He can speak of this for hours and he is angry at me
- his libido is back and the sex is amazing, I am having several orgasms every time, of kinds I didn’t even know existed
Again, graphic, but this is what he formed the evaluation upon
P.S: Just to be clear, my wife clearly stated to this quack that pre 2008 betrayal my libido was high, then after it dropped next to zero, and now is back.
Is not that isn’t natural,it’s how I used to be (but I had disgust, the ick for her body under the betrayal trauma so I was turned off from having sex with her)
Isn’t a weird thing, it’s natural healthy level of a adult man
