I have a T (and possibly the worst pdoc in this city), but they do not want to hear me explain why bipolar II is my main issue. This is where most of my problems and almost all my pain comes from, but they call it a "fuzzy diagnosis" (I tell them "OK, but my problems are not fuzzy and they're plainly in that category"), and they just wanted to listen to me for like 20 seconds while I explained what hypomania felt like before they changed the subject (I mentioned some peripheral symptoms and not the central ones that are part of the diagnosis). I could've lectured them for hours, but they don't want to hear about it. They say I am in a psychosis risk group (I do not think I am at risk) and have schizotypal (not a PD in ICD), and they seem to believe these are my main problems. How do I make them actually listen to me? I REALLY do not want to quit all my meds again and then go inpatient like they suggested (I've never been in inpatient care) so they can see how unstable I get. I feel that being med free will destroy my brain. It shouldn't be so difficult, someone has already diagnosed me with bipolar II, but these guys do not want to even discuss it properly. They just talk about how diagnosis is not that important and then switch subjects. I don't need them lecturing me about what is important and what's not, I am more than capable of figuring that out on my own. This is provoking me to the point where I want to give up all therapy and pdocs until my unemployment benefits stop and I actually need my diagnosis. Any suggestions, please?
