Hello,
I recently got referred to a PDoc who specializes in BP at Columbia University and setup a one-time consult on my diagnosis and med regiment (I recently started hearing voices again during a depressive episode, but unlike previous episodes the voice did not go away when my mood stabilized back to normal again). My question is, how do I tell my primary PDoc that I'm interested in this consult to see what the Dr recommends as far as diagnosis and medication?

I've been with my current PDoc for seven years and I really like her and don't want to offend her. I think she is great, I just want to see what this consult can add to my understanding and diagnosis and what med recommendations come out of it.

Any suggestions?
