Mental Health Professionals - Apex, NC

"My experience with Dr. Hasan was truly a nightmare. She was cold, demeaning, impersonal, and unethical in her behavior. I saw her for severe depression and anxiety stemming from the recent loss of twin boys. She rushed through the initial intake appointment, asking questions about my symptoms in rapid-fire fashion, not allowing me time to even comprehend what she was asking, and then interrupting and moving through additional lists of symptoms before I even had time to answer. I have serious apprehension about beginning use of antidepressant and anxiety medications, and I had several questions and concerns I was looking to have addressed. She asked me what "stressors" I am experiencing, and when I mentioned the loss of my twin boys, she said "that was the event, not a stressor". When I then mentioned the loss of motivation and joy, the loss of sleep, and the immense grief and sadness I am experiencing, she said "those are symptoms, not stressors, do you actually have any stressors?" She was sharp, cold, condescending and unable to show empathy throughout the appointment, and continued to giggle to herself and smirk when I was talking through the struggles I have experienced over the past six months. Her intense questioning lasted about 20 minutes before she asked if I had any questions. When I brought up the details of my reservations and concerns with utilizing medication, Dr. Hasan laughed at my questions, repeatedly stating "the medications are safe you have nothing to worry about and your concerns are unfounded. If you're not comfortable with medication then what do you expect me to help you with today?" It was evident all she cared about was quickly prescribing a medication and collecting her fee. As a mental health provider, Dr. Hasan should have an obligation to seek to improve the lives of each patient she sees. I walked out of her office in total despair, feeling vulnerable and having had my concerns invalidated. If you are seeking professional care and attention, go elsewhere, as Dr. Hasan has greatly missed the mark. "
