If I were you, I would file a complaint about that doctor. It's absolutely horrible that he did that. My 14 year old son has a severe stutter. He started seeing a psychiatrist when he was about 10 for anxiety issues. He spoke with my son to get a picture of what was going on, then he spoke with me and my son. While we were talking, he said that he has a colleague that is a very successful and sought after doctor, and she has a severe stutter like my son's. He said it's never held her back, so my son doesn't need to worry about it holding him back. His psychiatrist has also told me that he schedules my son's appointments at a certain time of day so that my son has extra time to talk if he needs to since it can be hard for him to get out what he needs to say. This is the type of treatment you should have received from your doctor. It's inexcusable that your doctor acted the way he did. Don't let this experience make you feel bad about yourself. And don't let it stop you from getting help with your depression. If you have a primary care physician that you like, they can handle treating mild depression. Or if they feel you need a psychiatrist, they can recommend one.
