I NEVER leave reviews but I could not go without making sure this doesn't happen to other people.
I saw a Psychiatrist, Jean-Charles,Tessy and it was the worst experience I've ever had with Psychiatry. I've been working on my mental health quite literally since the age of 11, and have been seeing mental health professionals since the age of 11. I have been diagnosed with ADHD countless times, and am regularly seeing a therapist who has confirmed this diagnosis, as well as all of my previous mental health professionals.
Tessy spent 35 minute gaslighting me and trying to convince me I just have "depression and anxiety" and refused to listen to a single word I said in response, her responses were always to double down and continue telling me I was wrong, saying things such as "you probably just didn't know you were depressed and anxious" when I informed her I've struggled with ADHD since childhood (age 10 diagnosis originally) and informed her I struggled with this even while I was not depressed or anxious.
During my appointment the only questions she asked, at all, were regarding the PHQ-9 and GAD-7 forms, she asked me a total of 3 questions consisting of "why did you answer the question that way" "why made you feel the way you answered" etc, and after 3 questions, and no more than 5 minutes into the appointment started telling me I don't have ADHD and that I have depression and anxiety and that she "would be doing a disservice to treat me ADHD before the depression"
What makes this so frustrating is my chart explicitly stated I was ONLY seeking treatment for ADHD, Anxiety, and C-PTSD, at the beginning of the call, she voiced that she was changing my chart to focus on depression and anxiety. I told her I have already experimented with depression and mood stabilizing medications and explained all of my horrid experiences and stated I DID NOT want to do so again, she blatantly ignored me and continuously repeated over and over that she needed to test me for depression.
After speaking with my therapist about this she was flabbergasted that this psychiatrist was as uneducated as she was, my therapist confirmed that it was wildly unprofessional that she just made up her mind based on 3 questions over zoom and refused to listen to anything I said. My therapist even mentioning that with my level of trauma, any person would be depressed and anxious and she made no attempt to take that into mind, she never asked about it, she never asked any questions that could lead to a depression diagnosis, my therapist explicitly stated she does not think I am medically depressed, and immediately trying to prescribe medications for something I show no signs of, not even 10 minutes into a ZOOM, is dangerous and neglectful.
The last 5-10 minutes of my appointment I was literally crying to this woman telling her I felt as if she was gaslighting me and she rolled her eyes and chucked it off, to the point I told her I felt like the appointment was going no where and I ended the appointment, without a second thought her response was "okay good luck goodbye". I have never in my life experienced such a wildly neglectful mental health professional and I heavily suggest you as a company look into this. Anyone thinking of coming to this practice for anything other than Depression, I would HIGHLY suggest otherwise.
