I'm still baffled at him calling you a drug-seeker. Maybe I'm just getting old, but I didn't realize kids were using anti-depressants to get high.
most anti-depressants prescribed are ssri's snri's,etc..........
at least you have to usually get prescribed those first and if they dont work then they prescribe the "narcotic" drugs. they dont go around willy-nilly prescribing out valium, lithium, and other mind altering drugs as a first treatment.
LOL, you cant get high on lithium, and it isnt a narcotic. If you want to vomit, shake and feel like someone turned your brain down to like 3 then you might go drug-seeking for lithium 
you would be surprised at the stuff people abuse.

I'm wild and a little crazy too
I have seen a lot of things in my life time.
That is why I walk the line I walk.

I've had this problem with other health issue with doctors before as well.
I think now that medical information is so readily available online about different types of symptoms and stuff, a lot of people don't go in seeking help feeling helpless, they are more just finally breaking down and accepting that they have all of these symptoms and should address them before they get worse.
It seems like doctors respond to that by assuming that you went and found some drug you wanted online and then made up symptoms to go with it rather than having the symptoms in the first place and looking into types of treatments available so you could go into an appointment informed.
Edit: I'm really surprised he wouldn't even give you a referral to someone that could make the call on whether you need some professional assistance whether it be medication or just therapy. That alone would be enough to make me switch to a different PCP. Sometimes they just aren't a good match.

Can't win.
Prescribe the drugs and you're a low-class whore working a corner for the pharmaceutical industry handing out pills people don't need like your at a rave.
Refuse to prescribe the drug and you're an arrogant dick who doesn't care about his patients.
The referral crap is even worse. The guy doesn't think you need anti-depressants and you don't understand why you don't get a referral? The whole point of referrals is to free specialists up to handle cases actually requiring their expertise.
I wasn't there. Maybe the guy is just a dick. Completely possible. Just as possible that he listened and evaluated you and decided that you weren't at the stage of needing a pharmacology let alone a psychiatrist. I know the public has this firm conception that they're special butterflies in need of an orthopedist for their sprained ankle or a psychiatrist for their straightforward case of depression, but a family physician should be pretty damn capable of handling that...
Plenty of asshats in white coats. But there are just as many asshats standing in a free clinics bitching about the 40 minute wait or how they didn't get antibiotics for their cold.

you should go to the ombudsman first. they're like the office or hospital hr but they fight for you, not the doctor. at least, that's what the one at my doctor's office does.
