Untrue.  The 3rd Doctor was incapacitated for a large part of his first 
story.  The intro stories for the 5th and 10th Doctors copied this.

Terrance Dicks own novelization confirmed that the 4th Doctor acted really 
strange and bonkers for an extended period after his regeneration, although 
much of it was offscreen, such as his first encounter with Xoanon.  The 
11th Doctor's intro copied this. 

The 7th and 8th Doctors were very unsure of who they were for a while.

The 6th Doctor's regeneration crisis could have been better executed.  In a 
later scene, a parallel was implied between Hugo almost shooting the 
Doctor, thinking he had kidnapped the Twins and destroyed his fleet, and 
the Doctor almost killing Peri, because they both had experienced traumas, 
but the direction of the story does not make it clear.
