The point it that sometimes one's doubts are correct
I think this is a good point, Venus. I often see on this forum a kind of automatic jump to 'denial' when this is surely sometimes the case, but there's no reason why it would have to always be the case.
In some cases it can be dangerous to question the diagnosis (i.e. abruptly going off meds), but sometimes I think it can be healthy and useful (whether doubts prove accurate or not) -it just depends on the person, the situation, all kinds of things.
Red Panda, you could go for a second opinion if you want to feel more secure in the diagnosis. Regardless, it sounds like your treatment is helping you and that's the important thing. But the option is there to seek maybe a more thorough, if not two or three-part evaluation by another pdoc (I think insurance covers this, but I guess it would depend on the insurance), which doesn't mean, of course, you couldn't go back to your current pdoc.
