| - This review is specifically for Dr. Mohammed Alam:
I came to Dr. Alam for help with my depression and suicidal thoughts. I came to him as a last resort, because I was very suicidal and I knew I was a danger to myself. Dr. Alam not only refused to see me, but he lied as well.
1) Dr. Alam showed NO empathy or compassion for me and my situation. His only concern was his own liability. He refused to see me unless I went into inpatient therapy 3 times per week. Which I couldn't do unless I quit my job.
2) He was so obsessed with the fact that I use cannabis for an unrelated problem with my back. He said "it's not FDA approved", and "I need to see you sober". He focused so much on this subject, it was obvious I was being treated differently because I choose a safe, effective drug that's not "approved" by an organization that's run by Big Pharma execs...
3) Dr. Alam let an extremely suicidal, angry patient, back out into the world, without so much as a sample medicine pack, a "good luck". He is very lucky I'm so strong, because if I killed myself that night, he would be absolutely liable.
4) It was soon obvious that Dr. Alam didn't WANT to treat me. I mean he couldn't have said this louder with his treatment of me. I decided to leave and as I did, he said he wouldn't charge me the $50. As I'm driving home, crying and screaming at God, I get a call from Palm Valley Behavioral asking for my payment....wow. I stated that I was told by the Dr himself that he would not charge me. A week later I receive a bill from him Wow. Talk about kicking me when I'm down.
To recap: Dr. Alam let a suicidal man go home, after stating how badly he wanted to kill himself. All because I used an "unapproved" medication, and I COULDN'T accept his ridiculous plan for treatment. Even if I accepted his plan, he said he wouldn't write me a prescription until my next visit. He said this, to a suicidal patient.
His lack of concern and empathy was disturbing. If I was not a strong person, I probably would have killed myself that night. But I didn't want to leave my son and wife so soon, so I persevered, despite Dr. Alam and his brushing off of my problems. He is going to kill someone someday though, through his lack of concern and authoritarian attitude.
Dr. Alam should be ashamed. His job and his attitude towards people couldn't be more different. He should've been a doctor, not a psychologist. One requires a lot more empathy and compassion, two traits he obviously never learned.
