Hey /adv/, dumb question for y'all. Is it possible for me to sue my psychiatrist? I was on something like 200mg of (insert hardcore antideppressant) since I was like 12, even though I had never needed them, and the only reason my parents put me on them was because my mom was getting on them at the time and they thought it was a good idea. I had never been depressed before in my life, but once I got on them, everything changed for the worse. I had started out with that one antidepressant that increased weight gain, and I grew man tits. Made life hell for me. Long story short, after finally turning 18 I took the liberty of tapering off them, and I've been down to 50mg as of lately. But as I go down more and more, it's shittier for a week or so, but then I feel WAY BETTER THAN BEFORE. This is all without my psychiatrists knowing, because last time I saw her, she threatened to take me to court for telling her I wanted off these godforsaken tic tacs. So my question, can I sue this shit out of her for any of this?

You have no proof it's malpractice

If you didn't like her opinion to begin with, you should have gotten a second opinion

I had no choice to begin with as I was under 18, no other options. Also I should include that these mess are career disqualifying, and have fully ruined any ability to enjoy life.

This is still more of a DCFS issue (and your parents fault) than the psychiatrists.

I doubt you'd be able to prove that she breached her obligations towards you because of this. It'd be a big burden on you to show this.

I work at an insurance defense firm.

I am telling you right now you have no case.

The first thing that would happen would be all of your medical records would be unsealed, and there would be teams of people pouring over the notes trying to find evidence that you were in fact depressed.

Be prepared to also sue your parents. There will be no way they can stay out of it.
Do you have an amazing relationship with your parents? Your mom's therapy records would probably be unsealed and any mention of you doing something that upset her would be held against you.

What exactly are you suing for? "Malpractice" comes down to things like "Willful and Wanton Misconduct", are you sure you can prove that?

To me it sound like a case that would get dismissed rather quickly
