this will open the door to not throwing it whether they and you ...believe...you have it, but rather on the facts of what made them place that label in the files.
they will instead answer according to what symptoms or what you told them that lead them to diagnose you as that.
this will also give you a chance to clarify what you meant when you told them about those symptoms and problems in the first place that led them to labeling you this.
who knows maybe by doing it this way they will include a statement in your files that they no longer believe you have delusional disorder.  |
That sounds like a good idea. I stopped going to the therapist that diagnosed me with delusional disorder shortly after she made that diagnosis, but I can ask the new therapist what she thinks about the diagnosis. I suppose it isn't a big deal, but I don't think it is accurate today. Even that original therapist said she thought it was very mild and she wasn't certain.
