I suggest you go ahead and tell your current psychiatrist about your concerns. I think they are appropriate, albeit your fears are somewhat exaggerated, I personally believe. After all, mistakes in diagnosis are made. I see no reason why an incorrect one, if that's the case, needs to remain in your records.

And why even tell anyone about the old diagnosis, if it is no longer confirmed? If anyone digs up the record, then they could be told about the incorrect diagnosis.....

I'd be interested in knowing what your psychiatrist says about it.
I have my next follow up with her in about 2 weeks, and I am ready to ask about this issue. I will definitely report back on her response. If I had to guess, though, in advance, I would guess that she will say "who cares unless it becomes an issue?"

So yes, in response to a prior post (thanks to all, btw), I do realize I'm stewing over vague hypotheticals. Which isn't good.
