menopause symptoms.....tired, depressed, rapid mood swings, extreme highs, extreme lows, memory problems, other emotional/mental symptoms...

I don't think you understood my ????? What I'm saying is that doctors don't go by what someone diagnosis themselves with. Like if I go in and say, "I decided I have bipolar" they're not gonna turn around and just hand over the meds without someone kind of examination. I understand that docs dont always get the dx right, but they don't just take someone at their word if they just walk in and say, "I have such and such illness."
