IP? There is a thread here that is titled Considering IP again. What is IP?
I've seen some others in bipolar specific threads.
tdoc? Is this your therapist?
pdoc? Is this your psychologist? psychiatrist?
What would your family medicine/md be called?
Is there a glossary somewhere that would help me?

Quick answer:
IP - in patient
OP - original post and/or poster, or possible outpatient, depending on context
pdoc - psychiatrist or anyone who prescribes psych meds
t - therapist or therapy
gp - general practioner - but the British folk use a lot of different names
Idk - I dont know about a chart - my search doesnt work on my phone. Hope this helped!
