1 /5 Savannah Lexirae: Whatever you do do not see Dr Sara Reid. I have never had a more incompetent and overall uneducated psychiatrist, if she was just uneducated that would be one thing but her incompetence and harmfulness goes to another level. In my session with Dr Reid she was going over her list of questions and when she got to eating disorder in my chart she said “ you don’t look like you have an eating disorder, I’m looking at you and i’m like what eating disorder you look healthy” and when I said you shouldn’t really say that because people can have an eating disorder and you wouldn’t know she said “I would because you’re almost 5”5 and *blank pounds* you’re not dehydrated and your blood pressure is fine. I said well someone could be physically fine and still have an eating disorder to that she responded “ really?” as if she wanted me to second guess myself, which alone telling someone things like this when they already have an eating disorder is so harmful. And she said “well philosophically with my degree I can tell you’re fine because you’re *blank pounds* and almost 5”5 so we can agree to disagree.” As a psychiatrist one should know there is not a look for eating disorders and insinuating that there is and you could tell just by one’s blood pressure, weight, and looking at them is extremely harmful and I can only imagine the terrible affects it could have on others who currently or in the past had an eating disorder.
Furthermore when she brought up the topic of ADHD and said “what about ADHD?” all I had said was I sometimes have trouble concentrating and sitting still for long periods of time but I mask very well, she asked about trying a medication for ADHD and I asked her if I have ADHD and she said “well you said you mask very well.” After the session she had put notes in my chart saying I “procrastinate and don’t listen when spoken” all things I did not say. I filled out no questionnaires for ADHD or any of the diagnoses that appeared in my chart after this session.
