the diagnostic tests itself is set up in such away that if there are alters they will be noticed..

it is normal to talk about triggering things with a psychiatrist and is normal for a psychiatrists to bring up triggering things during a testing procedure. example the psychiatrist cant diagnose you with being sexually abused if you dont tell them you were, a psychiatrist cant diagnose you with panic attacks if you dont talk about panic attacks and what makes you panic. A psychiatrist cant just take a look at a person and see they have a mental disorder, they have to ask questions find out where your mind is at, what things you have gone through and what things cause you problems.

if you are in the USA and you feel a psychiatrist did wrong when testing you, you can contact your states ethics board and submit a complaint, they will hold a hearing, hear testimony from you and anyone else involved including the psychiatrist that may have done you wrong. If the hearing results find he did wrong the state ethics board will penalize them, and place a report so that others seeking mental health care will know disciplinary action was taken against them.
