Went to my GP today, apparently I had to see him because I had the crisis team involved not long ago. I went and explained why I was there but I also told him that I didn't think the diagnosis of bipolar was correct. I explained that the psychiatrist who made this diagnosis didn't even tell me to my face, he wrote it in his report and I haven't been offered any specific treatment as such or any explanation. I saw him the once and that was it.
I told my GP that I thought the therapist I saw a couple of years ago was more on the right track with her suggestion of DID. I said I felt I could relate more to this, than bipolar. I then asked him who do I see to ask for a second opinion to which he replied I shouldn't get hung up on a diagnosis.
In my opinion, I think it's better to know what I'm dealing with, so I have a clearer idea of what can help and a better understanding of how I work too.
So I thought I'd ask here if what my GP said is acceptable or if you think I should push for more than simply leaving it.
