I'm being reviewed by Medicare for SSDI right now, and I need to fill in a bunch of forms about my treatment this year.

2009 Scorecard: Mental Health Professional Treatment

INDIVIDUAL MEETINGS PAST 12 MONTHS
3 Pdocs (MD):
........2 individual treatment ongoing (changed during year).
........1 while in outpatient hospital programs.

5 PhD level psychologists on an individual basis.
........1 ongoing
........1 was for potential ongoing. Didn't do.
........1 was potential individual and also group intake session. Did neither.
........1 was program intake. Went to one session of it. Day Treatment2.
........1 was program intake. Did join group. Depression Group.

1 MA/ABD-level psychologist for ongoing individual.

1 MA-level therapist for outpatient hospital program intake.
........Day Treatment and Partial Hospitalization

GROUP PROGRAMS
Partial hospitalization--2 MA-level, 1 PhD-level therapists.

Day Treatment--2 MA-level therapists + 1 MA fill-in several times.

Day Treatment program2--2 MA-level therapists. Attended 1 day.

Depression Group--PhD-level, from psychologist list above.

That's individual sessions with 10 different T's and pdocs in 12 months.

Group sessions involving 9 different T's.

One person overlaps individual and group therapists, so 18 different mental health pros have seen me in action this year. 3 in groups spent so little time with me that they have no real basis for diagnosing me. 15 do.

Quite a year.
