Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask I couldn't think of anywhere better. I had my first psychiatrist appointment today, while we were going over myself in general I mentioned I smoke weed. I smoke often, and am aware of the side effects it can have. But after this he seemed to hyper focus on this being the cause of my issues, He kept fear mongering me. Talking about all the bad things that could happen to me from a legal standpoint. After a little bit of this it got irritating and I plainly said "you don't have to convince me to quit, you can just ask me too" which he replied "Ah so my manipulation won't work" jokingly. He had a joking tone but he still continued a little with this, and his demeanor seemed different. There are rarely new people I dislike or am weary of, but he just gives me a bad feeling. I'm really not trying to be dramatic but this type of weird off standish behavior seems kind of counter intuitive for a psychiatrist. It feels like he's trying to view me from a glass pane right off the bat. I got my prozac and a diagnosis but if I don't improve i'm a little anxious about his ability to help. Do psychiatrists just act like this compared to therapists? I feel like it's odd. Am I just being immature about all this.
