Also, if you're prescribing heavy-duty drugs, I think there's an obligation to explain why. I just think the attitude is a bit obnoxious frankly -anyway, I'm sorry about his hemming and hawing. From what these psychiatrists are saying, it sounds like if insurance didn't exist, they'd just never diagnose at all. I guess, as the platitude goes, if the treatment is helping you, the diagnosis doesn't matter.

My T is just biding her time since I live in MD (at university in MS) and MD likes to play big brother and REQUIRES you to notify the MVA about any Bipolar diagnoses so they can decide whether you get to keep your license. It's annoying but she's trying to keep me out of dealing with that BS as long as possible.
