I don't doubt it's possible/valid at all, I was just wondering how it happens. I just can't imagine (which doesn't mean it doesn't happen) a psychiatrist doing an evaluation and then coming up with all of this at once (maybe if it's one of those super-long official neuropsych evals it would be different). So I was wondering if doctors add on additional diagnoses over time or if different doctors have diagnosed different things, thus adding to previous ones, if the doctor diagnosed everything at once, etc. I'm sure it's different for everyone, but just wondering how it came about.
