2. Worst? A psychiatrist went into a reverie fantasizing about boners.

She was talking about side effects of aripiprazole (Abilify). She went on and on about priapism (erections that don't go away). It initially made me uncomfortable, then I realized she was perversely getting off on that.

After I filled the prescription, I read two pages of prescribing information provided by the pharmacy...priapism wasn't mentioned. So it isn't considered a common side-effect. Being assigned to a person that used their job to feed her perversion really pissed me off.

Almost worse? When asked how things were going, I told a psychiatrist I wasn't really feeling better after taking prozac for a month and a half and after two months of talk-therapy. His response was telling me to get out of the clinic as I clearly didn't find them useful.

I stuck with the clinic, but ended up assigned to the aforementioned pervert.


on edit: You might want to google on the power of emotion in therapy.
