From all the appointments i had with pdocs they are machines They are computed to prescribe pills to people and to designar a classe of sickness to you even if youre sane. Of course they give US pills That makes you feel a Little better but at the same time those pills reduce your Intelligence day by day and each time you go There youre a Little bit dumber. Thiago robots wont stop until you think your health depends on them... And it Will because some of This medicines índuce on you real health problems like for example a Hearing voices for the first time
Im talking like This because yesterday i got on and appointment and sentenced to more 4 months talking 10mg abilify

The best you can do is try to be an informed consumer of healthcare. Advocate for yourself as much as possible, and switch doctors at the first sign of incompetence or malevolence.
Some doctors are simply not good, others are mind-blowingly intelligent and can save your life.
I wish people were more active in rating/reviewing their doctors online, it'd at least give a doc an incentive to do more then go through the motions. It'd allow patients to find someone right for them. A youtube video of a guy playing call of duty can have 10k comments, but a doctor who's seen over 1000 patients likely has less than 5 reviews online.

What were your symptoms before starting any medications?

If you don't feel the medication/dosage fits your symptoms, explain why thoroughly to your doctor. If they brush you off, I'd strongly suggest finding a new doc, because they don't seem to have your well being as priority. You likely won't improve under their care.
Just make sure when switching doctors that any new one knows what meds you're currently on.
Is it a dissociative disorder you're diagnosed with?

Psychiatrists are not all robots or all bad. There are some bad eggs and for many decades the specialty was not that competitive meaning you had people who were passionate about it and people who were not passionate about anything else and sought the "easiest" thing.
Mental health is a delicate subject, but no one is forcing you take to aripiprazole unless you have court mandated treatment which would be unlikely and point to other issues. If you are experiencing psychotic symptoms on aripiprazole, you need to be talking to your provider yesterday.
You are responsible for your own destiny. I know it's not that easy to find a new doc especially pdoc especially with how screwed up insurance is, but if you don't have any therapeutic alliance or trust in your doc you owe it to yourself to find another.
