Dr. Chitra Mangalpady Shenoy, MD

Dr. Shenoy Review: Concerning Diagnostic Process Dr. Shenoy diagnosed me with bipolar disorder, leading to a 10-day hospitalization that significantly impacted my custody case. This diagnosis raises serious concerns: - Based primarily on reports from my parent who was involved in family conflicts - Did not adequately consider my documented acute trauma crisis - Failed to account for parental alienation effects - Did not properly weigh my severe sleep deprivation - Did not factor in THC levels in my system - Did not consider that I was on a high dose of an SSRI The DSM explicitly requires ruling out SSRI effects before diagnosing bipolar disorder, as these medications can cause similar symptoms. This critical step appears to have been overlooked. When I sought clarification, Dr. Shenoy stated: "This is my professional opinion and it's final." This diagnosis was subsequently used in court proceedings, resulting in the loss of custody of my children and my employment. The… consequences of this diagnostic process have profoundly affected both my family and me.????????????????
