"a very unprofessional psychiatrist"

About: University Hospital Hairmyres / Mental Health (Wards 19 &20)

(as the patient),

Last week a psychiatrist from Hairmyres hospital came to my home without giving me any verbal or written confirmation.

My cpn from athol house was also there. When the psychiatrist started talking he kept telling my relative to be quiet when she asked a question. Then the psychiatrist proceeded to ask me if i hear voices i then said no. I was then asked if i see things i said no. then the psychiatrist said you need medicine. i clearly did not agree with this self proclaimed diagnosis. The psychiatrist then went on to say that they were the most intelligent person in the room and could section me. so i said please leave, after about 10 mins the psychiatrist reluctantly left, leaving both my relative and me very anxious and upset. i suffer from anxiety and this dr did not help me in any way. please help me as i want a formal complaint made against this dr. thankyou.
