Sadly,this does happen.I will never to my dying day forget taking a close
friend to see a psychiatrist a few days after her second stillbirth. I left
her there, promising to come back in an hour (actually I was running chores
for her for the funeral) and came back to find her sitting on the sidewalk
sobbing. She had filled out a questionairre, and the doctor had "marked" it
(it was depression scale) and said, "you've got Postnatal depression, take
these and come back and see me in a month". She had been in and out of his
office in five minutes flat.
Needless to say she did NOT go back. And yes I know that this (hopefully) is
not typical behaviour of health care professionals. But it is a scary story.
