“Back in early 2023 when I went to the CC location when they were still by the court house it was nice. But I went in the beginning of this year to see psychiatrist just because my ex suggested me to. The first appointment I felt very dismissed. He was speaking more for me than I could. He was was not hearing me out whatsoever. He was saying I had PTSD symptoms but never diagnosed me with it. Well never told me he did. The thing is I don’t have PTSD, and I definitely don’t have the symptoms. I’d be aware if I did and I looked it up online and it does not apply to me at all. He put me on medication I never really cared for but after a few days I told him I do not want this it makes me sick and makes me have anxiety. Yes I was taking it accordingly. Then I went back in and he put me on something else after I told him I was not all that interested and I tried to give it a try and it didn’t work only made me sick yet and anxious yet again. This time I did not reach back out, I figured I’ll go back to my last “follow up” appointment that’s scheduled. Tell him I’m not interested and I’m good without medication. Well I show back up and we’re talking and he put me back on the first medication yet again. I did not take it whatsoever. I actually end up just throwing it away. I was fed up with him for not listening and throwing meds at me like it was some joke. I was fine and I was in therapy. Now fast forward to today I am very healthy and have scored 0 on depression and anxiety since. I’m trying to make a change in my life and join the Army NG. Well I was looking through my Bowen health records and all of my visits and what we talked about. Until I got up to this psychiatrist. I was only aware of my depression and anxiety because something I did feel and experience. But he diagnosed me with PTSD and said I had all the symptoms. I don’t. In fact I know what I told him. If I had PTSD I’d be still having the issue today. But it was just bad anxiety from a ex parter than I’m no longer with and I thought about it so much I’d have nightmares and just break down about it. I feel fine now. I don’t have any of these things these past 4 months, almost 5. Now not only did he mess up my diagnosis but he put words in my mouth and proceed to write it down to make me look awful. From self harm and a suicide attempt from 15 years old, made it seem fairly recent. To messing up my relationship status. To messing up my job. Messing up situations I told him and making it seem awful. All of it. Now this affects me. Going to the military has always been a dream of mine and I wouldn’t put myself in that situation if I knew I was not fit for it. I know I am and I think it’ll be great for me. But after seeing I got misdiagnosed with ptsd and never was told and mixed all my words up. Might as well kiss that opportunity goodbye. My heart is crushed, absolutely crushed because I been working my butt off to go and get all my waivers and do everything I can do. To find out at the end that this is what I get. PTSD is a automatic disqualification. A automatic disqualification to something I don’t even have and was not even aware they put that down in the first place. So I went months being unaware. No one told me at the Bowen center. At all. I have balled my eyes out all day since I found out. As well left work early because I was so hurt. This is literally a law suit right here. I can’t believe out of anyone this happened to me. I’m still waiting to hear back and I doubt I will because for 3 hours I kept calling and asking. I told I’d have a update before 5 pm on July 2nd, 2025. But nope. This is ridiculous. Never would I ever trust the Bowen center again.”
