 I WAITED SIX WEEKS TO SEE THE P.DOC. I HAD MY DISABILITY PAPERS STATING THAT I WAS BIPOLAR AS WELL AS MANY OTHER MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES, AND YET, ALL HE WANTED TO TALK ABOUT WAS MY OCD. EVEN THOUGH I HAVE ALL OF THE CLASSIC BIPOLAR SYMPTOMS, EXCEPT IRRATIONAL SPENDING(BECAUSE I'M POOR!)HE WAS ONLY INTERESTED IN MY OCD(EVEN THOUGH ITS NOT A PROBLEM FOR ME)AND THE SPINAL CORD SURGERY THAT I HAD ON 4/30. SINCE I WAS NEITHER MANIC OR DEPRESSED AT THE TIME(ONLY ANXIOUS)ALL HE DID WAS UP MY CLONOPIN, TOLD ME TO SEE ONE OF THEIR THERAPISTS ONCE EVERY TWO WEEKS(BUT THEY COULDN'T EVEN DO THAT TODAY)AND THEN TO MEET WITH HIM AGAIN ON OCTOBER 28TH FOR A 15 MINUTE FOLLOW-UP TO RE-ASSESS MY CONDITION. NOW, SHOULD I STICK IT OUT WITH THIS DOCTOR THROUGH OCTOBER, OR START LOOKING FOR A NEW P.DOC?
ANY SUGGESTIONS WOULD BE HELPFUL. I'M VERY CONFUSED! THANK YOU.
