Keep in mind the fact that you have an absolute right to a proper diagnosis, appropriate medications and treatment. I didn't challenge anything at the time, I was just too wrung out to begin with, and I should have. Mine was a 5 minute diagnosis based on intake forms, she didn't really even ask questions. She should have at least thought that it could be one of several things, not be so quick to just say definitively it is X.
I learned this. Question, even challenge if need be. I didn't stand up for myself,I just crumbled like a did as a kid when my dad would grab me by the collar and scream and spit in my face and I was terrified. Stand up for yourself. And don't be afraid to walk away if you need to, there are other providers.
