Unhelpful doctor dismisses my mental health struggles

I visited this medical practice after my previous clinic shut down, and once was more than enough! I sought mental health assistance, having battled ongoing psychological challenges, particularly in the wake of the pandemic. Upon sharing my struggles with the physician, his response was dismissive: 'Well, you have a partner and family to support you, so you have a good life'. Evidently, this doctor demonstrates a complete lack of understanding about mental health complexities. While I'm fortunate to have a strong support network, they are not trained professionals equipped to address my needs. Following this deeply unsatisfactory interaction, I consulted my college's support services, who recognized that I exhibit all the classic symptoms of PTSD stemming from previous traumatic experiences. An official diagnosis would be beneficial, but I will absolutely never again seek mental health guidance from this practice. Consequently, I am currently in the process of transferring my medical records to another surgery that might demonstrate more compassion and professional understanding.
