One of my close friends and I get in this discussion now and then. His mind is so brilliant in many ways...but when we talk about mental health...hmmm. He has never experienced or seen 1st hand some of what I have seen in my life...if he had, he would never question it. I have seen my mom get so bizarre -very severe BP & maybe a little bit Schizophrenic - back when they did not have the drugs they have now. There is no way to fake that. I've given up on some of these discussions with him - "when" he sees it - not "if" he sees it, he will understand.
It does not matter to me anymore if others do not believe it. I know, that is enough for me. And, yes I would have a problem with a doctor saying that to me. I would definitely let the doc know that was an incredibly irresponsible remark.
