Malpractice . Prescribed psychotropic drug with no followup, extremely poor counseling - (the…read morepsychiatrist fell asleep during second session). Have spent the past three years in counseling, in another state, at my own expense, with superb help and guidance to get off of one unnecessary psychotropic drug, and another (a benzodiazepin) , never should be prescribed for more than one to two week's usage, and is dangerous to life threatening to get off of without proper help, which Mayo psychiatrists do not believe in. No one should seek psychiatric help, in any form, from the Mayo Clinic.

I came to this clinic for a second opinion. I had been seeing my psychiatrist for over 10 years…read moreand felt that he was getting no where, and I wasn't getting any better. I decided to come to this clinic for a second opinion. I was very glad I did. I had a very complicated history and the staff took their time and reviewed my case, talked with me, and referred me to other professionals they felt might assist. In the end, they recommended a total change of direction. While I initially was a bit hesitant to go in a new direction, I took a leap of faith and followed their recommendations. Boy was I glad I did.....I have returned home, followed their suggestions, dropped my old psychiatrist, found a new psychiatrist and have been feeling better than I have in numerous years. Thanks Mayo!!!!
