was there a problem, or was she just tired of taking pills, or....
and why wasn't she under a psychiatrist's care for this?
is he a psychiatrist or a psychologist? you don't usually see someone who is both. if he is a psychologist, he can't prescribe, so maybe he just has a bias to keep patients to himself or ?
yeah, i see a lot of red flags here. she should at least be getting something for that anxiety. and depression kills.
