I have been told by everyone and their mother how great redemption psychiatry is. I have been with them for 2 years now and I can tell you that this practice's priorities are money first, and patient's needs aren't even a close second.
For months I complained that my medication was doing more harm than good and to let me try anything else. I told them how my quality of life was decreasing and bad side effects I was having, but month after month, that fact didn't matter to them except I always had 1 drug (out of hundreds) that could "help". This only option was a $300/month drug that the doc also gets a convenient kickback on. To compare, I'm paying $2.50/month for my current meds. Unfortunately that's not the worst part.
I was mentioning to my doc that I think I get my anxiety and coping skills from my dad. All I meant by this was to give an explanation when asked where I think a certain feeling came from (genetics). Instead, I was interrogated to admit that my dad abused me. If I was as depressed as I was 2 years ago, I would've created a memory that stuck just because of the immense amount of pressure I felt to "admit" I was hurt as a child, even though my dad is wonderful and would never even dream of hurting me. Not only am I appalled by this, but also very worried for other people before and after me. That had potential to ruin one of the most important relationships in my life.
There are a ton of dirty politics in the background that goes unnoticed since we have mental health issues and are vulnerable and compliant. I challenge everyone to be aware of this next time.
