Is it right for my psychiatrist to tell me I am incurable and should give up therapy?

Just because my check to him bounced.

1. he could have just recommended you to someone else...no that was not very professional
2. Sounds like a mal-practice to me. You have to look to yourself and ask yourself are you incurable. What is it that you are "trying to cure" anyway? How do you really know something is wrong with you in the first place? because someone else told you what you are doing is wrong? I consider a problem to be something that hinders your ability to go about your daily business. Besides, the first person to point the finger, has 4 pointing back at them.
3. GOD NO. find another and dont give up. he might just be rubbish and doesnt know what to do with you.
4. That is why I DESPISE the fact that most people can get a psychology degree! Humans treating other humans on psychological reconstruction is a horrible, horrible idea! What he or she said to you was both unprofessional and damaging. I definitly think suggesting someone else would have been a better approach. How does he or she know whether it is just their lameness that isn't helping?
5. Now you know why he was seeing you all along. Thank God the check bounced! Perhaps you're incurable because you don't need psychiatric help. Think about it and trust your own instincts.
6. Wow....that is highly unethical and he is dangerous to the world of mental health. You should absolutely seek help from another psychiatrist if you are indeed in need of help, and don't get a referral from this guy, since he obviously is not very helpful. In addition, you should report him to the professional organization that oversees licensing for psychiatrists. You can try the American Psychological Association, World Health Organization, American Psychiatric Association, and also the licensing board for whatever state you live in. What he did violates his obligation to either treat you or ensure that you are being treated if for some reason he is unable to do so. By contacting these organizations, you may also be able to get recommendations for other professionals, and they may be able to work with your financial needs. On a side note, since your check bounced, you could also consider seeking the guidance of a financial advisor. Might not hurt, especially if they can help you get a hold on your finances!
7. Cool name. Anyway... no that's completely horrible. Screw him. Just take your time picking out your next shrink, pick a good one with good credentials, hopefully they'll be able to help you out.
8. Hello again, Troll! I'm sorry to see that so many people have fallen for your lie. Have a nice day.
9. Hell no it's not right. You should give up your psychiatrist and find one that is worth it and believes in you no matter what.
10. Well when your psychiastrist is your brother....... you can't really argue with him now can you? Next time borrow money from him first THEN see him professionally.
11. You need to see a mental health center, they chg according to income.
12. So, what you are saying is that you are nuts.
13. If I'm not mistaken he has to by law give you 30 days notice. Why did you bounce a check. Can't you add.
14. Oh that is so funny I forgot to laugh...
15. absolutely inexcusable! your doctor never should have said that what he should have done was maybe recommend you to someone else. do not give up. hang in there.
16. Surely, something else must have occurred. Maybe, your psychiatrist feels that you have reached your max with your treatment. But, to say that you're incurable and that you should give up on further therapy, is unprofessional, it would of been handled better if you were referred to another therapist. The bounced check may have been used as an excuse. However, you are not the first person to have a check bounce for medical services. So, I don't think you can be denied services unless, of course, you owe a significant amt. of money. Believe it or not, medical practices can turn you away if, despite their efforts, to have you pay your balance. In this case, a certified letter is sent to you stating this. In addition, when you first become a patient, they have you sign forms that detail that this can happen. I hope this helps and Good Luck.
17. Heck NO!!!
18. No, not if he is any good. Why are you going to a psychiatrist? I have written a few rubber checks in my life, probably most of us have. Not deliberately though. If this is only the first check you have written against insufficient funds to this guy, my opinion is that he is quite unprofessional. However, if it is not the first one, he just may be disgusted. Now then, what is your problem?
