Dr. Sanat Kumar Roy M.D.

Dr Roy had been my psychiatrist since 1988. As far as doctors go he is the biggest jerk you will ever meet. He enjoys belittling his mentally ill clients. He makes cruel, condescending remarks and then laughs and laughs to himself. He doesn't connect with his patients in any way. He is an arrongant narcissist and treats his patients like objects for his amusement. It is baffling why someone with his personality would become a psychiatrist. A few years ago my Mother told me in 1988 Dr Roy accused her of being schizophrenogenic mother. This was when I was going to the University and developed schizophrenia. Back in the 1960's and 1970's the schizophrenogenic mother theory claimed that the mother's treatment or interaction with the child could cause schizophrenia. This theory had been disproven since the late 1970's. As you can imagine Dr Roys accusation crushed my mother! This was not a small little mistake. To negligently accuse the parent of a mentally ill child of causing the illness is a heinous act! It seems likely to me that in the 1980's this was standard practice for Dr Roy and that he accused many women of being schizophrenogenic mothers. I do know that at some point in time he was made aware of his mistake. You would think at this point that Dr Roy would contact these mothers and apologize. He could tell them that he was wrong. He did not! Instead he let my mom believe for decades that she was the cause of my mental illness! He never contacted her. He never apologized. I'm sure he didn't want to admit his mistake. I believe he tried to cover it up. He let these women suffer an unimaginable guilt rather than admit that he was wrong! This is an arrogant man with no character! He is a coward! This is a doctor who doesn't know what he is doing!
