I am really glad your second appointment went better. I have a friend with borderline personality disorder and her new therapist immediately questioned the diagnosis, which understandably made her feel very insecure and, in her words, "crazy."

It is irresponsible for any mental health professional to undermine the progress done toward recovery, because it encourages noncompliance. It is a fear I have about switching doctors, as is generally inevitable unless you stay in one place, one job, one insurance plan forever.

That said, it gives me a sense of optimism that your assigned doctor is actually validating you. I am happy for you.
