My first pdoc appointment was over 90 minutes. He also gave me only a provisional dx of BP-NOS because there were a lot of grey areas and he just wasn't positive I was really bipolar. (That changed fairly quickly when I waltzed in for our 3rd appointment a couple months later wearing bright clothes and makeup, and bouncing off the walls.) It took over a year to get a definitive dx of BP 1. I can't even IMAGINE a real doctor giving someone such a potentially devastating diagnosis in a single 5-minute interview......where'd she get her license, out of a bubble-gum machine??
