Does your pdoc trust you?

More and more I've grown to dislike my pdoc.

Ever since I met him, he has shown no trust in me. Before I was diagnosed as bipolar, he asked me to describe me my symptoms to him. When I complained about anger and depression, he gave me a bunch of mood disorder questionnaires to fill out. Then after i filled them out, he said, "Yeah, sounds like bipolar, but you don't have anyone in your family with that, so I don't think bipolar is right." Then he gave me an antidepressant without a mood stabilizer, which, of course, made me manic as hell. Only after that happened did he say, "Yeah, you're probably bipolar."

I have a diagnosis for ADHD, but he doesn't believe I have it! It's utterly bizarre. He will NOT give me anything to improve my concentration. He says, "No, you're not ADHD." Err.... what? I literally have a written diagnosis for it by a psychologist. How can you say 'no' to the ADHD diagnosis?

Oh yeah, and my pdoc has known about my GAD for 9 months and only recently prescribed me Ativan. I've been complaining about anxiety problems for 9 months and he didn't believe I had anxiety. I actually have TWO written diagnoses for GAD, from separate doctors.

He also thinks that because I'm 5 lbs underweight I "must" have an eating disorder. What kind of logic is that? My total cholesterol is almost 300! I've repeatedly denied having eating issues, but he keeps saying, "Well, we'll keep an eye on that. I'm going to put down a provisional diagnosis." I've literally had the same body type my whole life! WTH!

Sometimes I wonder why these people don't get any sanctions by their medical review boards.

I've been wanting to get a new pdoc for quite some time, but haven't had much luck. It's difficult trying to get an appointment with pdocs these days.
