My Psychiatrist acts like she doesn't know me (self.neurodivergent)

A couple of days ago, I met with my Psychiatrist for the second time. It's my first time seeing one.

She had put me on some medications on the first visit. During the second visit, she said things like, "I cannot believe I did that." and, "Sorry, I'm dealing with some family issues if I seem aloof."

How am I supposed to react to this? Is this typical?

Sorry, I’m dealing with some family issues if I seem aloof.

She should have taken some time off. Psychiatrists are human too and many times have their own mental health issues (and that is why they chose this profession). It’s up to you, but if it were me I would see if this behavior continues in the next session before I switch her out.

She said she was taking some time off and going out of town. My thought, though, was... I don't really care. I don't know her well, and what does she want me to respond with?
