Ds1 25 had a a video call with his psychiatrist. He’s feeling very low at the moment and started to cry on the call. The psychiatrist told him to stop crying over wise he would end the call with him. Aibu to find this insensitive.

The make - up shouldn't be mentioned imo. Some women choose not to wear make-up so it wouldn't give an accurate representation of level of self care.

It does if you see that patient on the regular and have mentioned it before. For instance it's not a good sign that a woman who always wears makeup when she is well has all of a sudden stopped wearing it. It's not sexist it's relevant information.

His exact words were “I think we should end this call here as you keep crying”

BuggerBognor I agree with you I definitely think sometimes they comment on aspects of appearance that they don’t need to.
