Can I just go to the office telling the pdoc I'm pretty confident I have this and that?
Can I ask on the first visit to try a certain medication?
Can I refuse to take or be prescribe lithium? I don't want it in my body.
My anxiety is bad and I'm freaking out.
I have a bipolar and depressive disorder diagnosis and "anxiety state".
I think I may also have ADHD...

I expect that your Pdoc will ask you open ended questions like "what are your symptoms" or "what has your life been like lately" and let you explain so that he/she can get a better idea of what your diagnosis could be.
