Alot of times they make you see their docs because they didn't get enough info for one of your treating docs. Hope this helps a tiny bit.

Thanks for this.
Yes, I started in March 2002 with disability date of fall 1999.
The thing is I've been so much treatment in the past year that I would've thought that made it a slam-dunk. I did 3 weeks of partial hospitalization, 3 months of Day Treatment, have 2 individual T's, a pdoc, and am in a wekkly depression supoort group led by a PhD T. I had gotten so bad off (sui) that I wnet through that and got a T for the first time in a few years, a new pdoc, etc. to try and shake things up. I posted once about it, and I think I met with 8-9 T's on a 1-1 basis and 3 pdocs plus the group stuff last year with all of it. I'd think having so many PhD T's and pdocs diagnose me as depressed last year would be enough.
I'd like to hear more about them not taking you off SSDI if you've been on for a long time. My life is not appreciably better.
