“I left the appointment feeling that my concerns were not adequately heard or understood. I felt unsupported during a time when I was seeking professional assistance for serious mental health symptoms. Rather than feeling reassured that my condition had been fully evaluated and addressed, I felt dismissed and uncertain about how to obtain appropriate support for my mental health needs.”
