Fposting this on behalf of my friend who is not on reddit
I took my 19 year old son to a Dr Goutam Ghosh of brain and minds clinic , kalyani on 17.06 2024. My son was diagnosed to have been suffering from OCD by two psychiatrists earlier. He was prescribed Flunil/Fludac capsule /syrup by them.
My son compiled all his problems neatly in two foolscap pages so that no point was missed. We had to wait almost three hours to meet the doctor. At first the doctor seemed to make the environment comfortable to my son by asking some general questions, such as his d.o.b, meaning of his name, address etc. Then he asked me to leave the room and took the paper from my son.Barely five minutes had passed when he called me in his chamber and ordered my son to wait outside.He asked me what his problems were.I began to recount how from the beginning of Class X, I saw some unusual behaviour in him, how from a calm and quiet child he became restless , short-tempered and sometimes violent. Concentration and diligence, which were his very nature were fast disappearing. I also said that as parents we never put any pressure on him for high marks or made any expectations for great results in competitive exams. However, the doctor was in no mood to hear me and asked repeatedly to point out the problem. He said that he found no sign of obsession in him and it was due to the consumption of flunil that he was getting angry. He next said that my son was actually a psychotic with the habit of placing all his failures on others’ shoulders. He complained that my son was very unorganised and talked about his problems in an incoherent way. He asked several times whether he was addicted to alcohol or any other substance. He also pointed out that my son had lost all his relations with reality.and since he had done very bad in mathematics in Class 12, he had no hope for future and it would be futile for him to sit for NEET again. I could not make him believe that he had no problem with maths. He also expressed his apprehension that very soon my son would grow an avoidance mentality and would be bullied by his classmates. He asked for psychometry test from a special organisation of his own. When we were about to leave, he suddenly took the prescription and wrote for IQ test.
My son has lost all hopes now . He was always so talkative , so open to me and now he just sits in a corner , with a lifeless stare . As a mother it breaks my heart .how in stead of sympathetic hearing, he seemed to pass a judgement .
please go through the post once i know it is long but i didnot stop a broken mother from expressing her heart out .

SI don’t know why this is on legal advice unless you are alleging there is medical malpractice.
A lot of doctors can have different opinions when it comes to psychiatry. Medicines are also a hit and try to see what works. You need to consult someone good.

FWhy of course it is medical malpractice , besides being completely unethical. It is absolutely unethical for a doctor to write a prescription even before hearing the patient history. Also bullying a teenager doesnt nt cater to differing opinion , especially if you are a psychiatrist , whose literal job is to help someone who has already been mistreated enough by life?
i dont want sugar coated words either , bu atleast listen to the symptoms and cater to your patients needs before passing a judgement?

LTry to post detailed issue in ChatGPT to confirm and get advice.
I am not suggesting to take medicinal advice from ChatGPT but it can give you 2nd opinion.

AHey I understand your pain, please please please don’t listen to this doctor. If you want a good objective diagnosis please visit NIMHANS with your son. They have many of the best psychiatrists and psychologists. My parents and i went through a lot of trouble finding a good doctor who’d treat my symptoms objectively, a lot of private doctors just looted us. Then after a year of shifting between many doctors and their meds I went to NIMHANS and that was one of the best decisions I made. Affordable care. It was grueling to wait for an entire day to meet my doctors but it was worth it. They controlled my symptoms, assigned me a therapist and now I can mostly manage my issues. I had many of the symptoms your son has and trust me it can get better with help. I’m so glad that you as a father are doing this for your son, thank you🙏🏻.

CI relate to this, now my sister does not want to get treated by any psychologist, therapist, psychatrist after what all they did to her. We went to quite a few places for her and saw such gruesome acts happening even with little children in the name of treatment just for more money. At one place in pune, I will not name, they are doing gory stuff with patients (women). After seeing that, we ourselves left our case to God. Be it psychatrist, psychologists, therapists or doctors, most (not all) are a joke in this nation.
