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?

Your second point is what frustrated me the most. She seemed to have crossed a boundary. I didn't know how to describe it until you worded it that way.

I do have a friend that is a Psychiatrist. I thought about asking her advice; however, I didn't want to put her in an awkward spot if she knew the one I was going to.

You don’t have to reveal her name to your friend—just say you were seeing someone new and had some questions.

Regardless, I think your discomfort about it is your answer. Time to find a new doc.
