People who realized they had bad therapists, what were the red flags?

Spent the last 2 years with a therapist (also a psychiatrist) who would forget to show up to ~65% of sessions, and cancel them 20 minutes past the hour, simply stating "emergency".

Took weeks to respond to my messages about how she forgot to refill my anti depressants, so I was constantly going through withdrawals and then starting back on my meds. Every time I brought this up she claimed the messages didn't send.... Took zero responsibility or accountability for ignoring my medication and missing appointments. Billed ME for her no-shows and refused to refund me.

During a traumatic event in my life, she missed 100% of sessions for 3 consecutive months.

Ignored me when I was actively suicidal, and then (many months later) when I disputed her credit card charges, she called the police on me for a "wellness check" when I was at dinner with my BF for our anniversary... I contacted her 2 minutes after she told me she was calling the police and said I was fine, why was she doing a wellness check? She didn't respond and sent the police.

I could go on, and on and on....
