I was very nearly discharged from outpatient services (which include individual T and DBT) by a pdoc who met with me for 10 minutes to review my case (he was cleaning out the hospital because they don't offer indefinite treatment) without bothering to even read my file.


His argument is that I'm high functioning, extremely intelligent, articulate and very well put together. He could not fathom why I needed three hours of therapy every week.


What????


I had a *****fit directly after and my T and the head of the OPD apologized on his behalf, and excused his poor judgment based on me presenting well.


And no, this is not the only example I have of being dismissed due to level of functionality.


At least the therapists know the real score.
