I have to agree with Blwi. I've been evaluated by many psychiatrist, primarily in a hospital setting. I've had 5 different diagnoses.
I've been frustrated with my new pdoc because she won't give me a diagnosis, something that I feel I need. My primary diagnosis has always been BP but other things get added on here and there. A year ago another doctor diagnosed me with BPD and took me off my meds. Ya...I crashed big time. At this point my pdoc feels it safe just for now to regard me with a mood disorder, not that she not willing to commit herself but to allow the assessment process to go on until she has a real handle on me. Although I wasn't happy about it in the beginning, I now understand
My point is that Bliwi is right. A different doctor a different diagnosis. It's really hard to get a really good thorough assessment.
Pdoc's can be horrible but what if you were to see him a few times and see how things go. Sounds like he has a bit of an attitude problem but maybe as he gets to know you his attitude and observations will change.
Just putting it out there
