Sometimes a likely diagnosis must be written into your care plan as a means of obtaining reimbursement. Providing care for a patient, whether physically, mentally, emotionally, etc is expensive and time consuming. Insurance requires that a diagnosis be made for payment. Observation, therapy, counseling, etc...these are not diagnosis'...they are treatments aimed at eventually obtaining wellness. I believe the good intentions are there. However, the rush to diagnose so that treatment can continue is often a necessary evil. In time, you will know a lot more about what symptoms you exhibit and likely diagnosis. Just remember that not every patient has every symptom and that every symptom is not necessary to have a definitive diagnosis. What's most important is that you are able to receive needed treatment so that you can get better.
