Argumentative & unhelpful psychiatrist

I have been receiving treatment for a number of years and unfortunately I am medication resistant making it difficult to keep my symptoms under control. My original psychiatrist was very helpful and kind but since they left I have been left unhappy with the treatment received from my new psychiatrist. I find them very argumentative and unwilling to listen to how I am feeling. They do not take into account my feelings and/or opinion about treatment going forward. I have been told that they would follow up from my last appointment and get in touch with me but they did not. I always make sure that my spouse attends with me because the appointments are so stressful and uncomfortable. Despite my problems with the psychiatrist the nurses who work here are lovely.
