Im not surprised your psychiatrist asked you to prove you are not your diagnosis..

here where I live and work those that are diagnosed with any mental or physical problems go through a period of denial of the diagnosis.

part of the denial process here where I live and work is about people setting out rejecting the diagnosis and try to prove they are not what ever they are diagnosed with.. doing this is perfectly normal and expected/ foreseen reaction treatment providers here where I live and work look for and encourage.. the reason being if they are doing this they are processing the fact that they have a problem and once the denial phase runs it's course with them, they are ready to move on to accepting help, being treated, getting better.

here denial/trying to prove the diagnosis isnt right and then moving on to acceptance of the diagnosis is a normal part of the normal process of mental health..

maybe your psychiatrist is trying to figure out a way for you to move forwards. a person stuck in the denial phase like you are of bouncing back and forth of one moment accepting your diagnosis and the next not accepting it, questioning what your symptoms (I get this fact from all your past conflicting posts) May not be moving you forwards..

he sees you are stuck in the same cycle over and over again. He has suggested a way that will hopefully bring you out of this never ending cycle of I have been told I have this, I dont have it, but I have been told I have this, I dont understand this, I dont have this, But Ive been told I have this, no I dont have this, what does this mean, Ive been told I have this, but this and this doesnt fit my, Ive been told I have this, but what does it mean, .....(all those conflicting questions you post about here.. might be showing to your treatment provider too, Id be surprised if he doesnt see the conflict going on in your head of whether you have what you have been diagnosed with or not.)

He has given you the next step in this process of being diagnosed with mental disorders... proving whether you have what you are diagnosed with...

now its up to you to take what you are diagnosed with and hit the books, while keeping in mind you are trying to disprove the diagnosis and see what you can find..

one of the fastest ways treatment providers here in NY use to help someone move forwards out of this conflicting cycle that you are in, is to have them challenge their diagnosis, research their diagnosis and try to prove they dont have it..

my suggestion give your psychiatrist's suggestion a try...try to prove to him you dont have what you have been diagnosed with.. maybe this will work for you. you dont lose anything by trying.
