Probably. One doctor who I thought was truthful and non-judgemental changed his opinion of me and his willingness to help after the psychiatrist put BPD in my chart. I remember feeling very betrayed.
Psychiatry feels so personal. The personality is not separated from the illness, unlike medical conditions.
I have learned most doctors are not interested in helping people. They often take the approach that strips one of their humanity and dignity who is then left to pick up the pieces. Who do they turn to after that, especially if they have an "illness" that needs to be treated?
