"GP Mental Health Consult"

About: GPs in the Durack Electoral District

(as the patient),

I booked an appointment with a doctor at Port Hedland Medical Centre to get a mental health care plan to see a local psychologist and provide to get approved for alternative medicine. I was having a difficult time with my Psychiatrist and the many meds they were prescribing me that had made me deteriorate further so was in a horrible headspace coming in to my appointment. 

The doctor had me do the Blackdog Institute Depression test, I completed the test. When counting up my answers I recall they scoffed/laughed and joked about how high I scored.

I don't think it’s appropriate and was quite disrespectful and dismissive to my quite serious issue I was trying to address.
