I think that you know your situation and your treatment providers best. I think if you EVER question a treatment provider, no matter who they are or where, you should be getting a second opinion, or at the very least questioning things. Your boyfriend is lucky to have someone in his life who is as supportive as you.

As far as talking about diasgnoses and symptoms, I don't believe anyone on this site has the ability to know what goes into someone's specific diagnosis or not. First of all, we are here for peer support, second, the only qualified people for that are those who are professionals (eg doctors, psychologists). Any good professional will steer clear of ANY diagnosing over a short message online. Just because one person knows something about mental health does not mean that others are wrong, or misguided. It simply means they are coming from a different place. All of us on here have been trained (professionally and through experience), and we will all have different ideas. Even the highest professionals have differing views on things. That's the intrigue into sciences like mental health: it's constantly changing.

Hope all goes well with the appointment next week!
