  Dealing with Dr. Keneti has truly been a nightmare. I’ve never felt so ignored and insulted by a psychiatrist.
  Upon our initial meeting, I informed her of a previous misdiagnosis I had received; she spent the rest of our appointment assuring me that, despite not meeting the DSM5 criteria, this was the illness that plagued me. She made no effort to come to her own conclusion about my condition, and purposely ignored anything I said to the contrary. She figured the work had already been done for her; I had already received a diagnosis from a previous psychiatrist, and she felt that it was not necessary to make her own evaluation.
  When I attempted to express that I believed I was a sufferer of a different disorder, she outright refused to acknowledge my concerns. She then proceeded to inform me that there was “no way” I suffered from this disorder, and someone that “actually had it” would “shoot you in the face for suggesting it.” She poked fun at me for taking it upon myself to do some research on mental health and mocked me for proposing what I am certain is the condition I suffer from (which I meet all of the DSM5 criteria for, by the way).
  She told me that medicine was what I needed and that therapy would probably “make things worse.”
  She sent me home with a packet on the condition I was previously misdiagnosed with and a prescription to treat it. She never discussed the side effects of the medication with me. I later learned that weight gain was a common side effect. I gained over 20 pounds while on this medication. The weight gain wasn’t her fault, but I do feel this information should have been disclosed.
  At our next appointment, I was visibly upset with her treatment of my concerns. I was tired of being ignored and going unheard. You would think that a person that deals with the mentally ill every day would know to deescalate a situation like this but instead she began to insult me, accusing me of never being able to trust mental health professionals. She then told me that I am “probably a good person, deep down.” I was horribly offended. I left her office crying, enraged and hurt.
  This is NOT how you treat emotionally fragile people! This is not how you treat anyone, for that matter, regardless of their mental health.
  Dr. Keneti is simply unfit to treat the mentally ill. She lacks any sort of compassion for those of us that might be hurting greatly due to our mental struggles. She does not care about the wellbeing of her patients; she doesn’t care if there is improvement! She wants nothing more than to push more pills down our throats and sit back and collect a paycheck. Her medical license ought to be revoked after this egregious display of negligence and misconduct.
