Wow....that sounds eventful.
Did you have a chance to tell the dr about the previous diagnosises/history?

One thing my T pointed out (probably because she's not a medical dr) that she finds it more important to treat symptoms than a diagnosis. The reason I think that makes sense is that when it comes to say, anxiety, while there is similarities, we are all going to have differences. Also mental illnesses tend to blurr lines, in that my anxiety may cause me to feel depressed. And there are some typical symptoms of anxiety that I don't feel. So treat what is there.

There are benefits of having a diagnosis and I would probably be quite confused and....maybe annoyed if this new dr threw out all the ideas I had been coming to terms with from the last dr.

I do think it's important that you explain to the dr about the voices and hallucinations because those are symptoms that you probably want treated. He may recommend a different med to treat those if he's aware of them. I also think getting a referral for a pdoc or T would be beneficial -especially if you can see them more often than every 3 months.

I'm happy you've gotten the appointment out of the way and that's something you don't have to worry about. I hope the medications he gave you help calm things down
