Can my psychiatrist refuse to refill my meds?

[Elana]

Yes.

In fact, most medical professionals would consider it irresponsible and/or unethical to refill your meds without having seen you.

i keep missing appointments and her nurse is telling me that if i don't show up to the next one the doctor will not refill my prescriptions. my dad is like no the dr can't refuse to refill a medication but her nurse is like yeah she can and will. but really how is it my fault that the doctor keeps booking these appointments and then not reminding me knowing i have a poor memory. i think its stupid.
