Have any of you actually seen yours? I requested a copy of my hospital records from when I was in PHP in 2015 and IP in 2016. Definitely some interesting notes in there, the ones I can read anyway (why do doctors write so bad!). I apparently have had diagnoses of Bipolar I Disorder, Bipolar II Disorder, Bipolar NOS, Major Depressive Disorder, and Generalized Anxiety Disorder. Plus some of the notes in the IP chart made me laugh. I know they weren't meant to be funny, but how some things are written are hilarious to me. I wasn't really surprised about anything I read (well the BP I diagnosis was suspect to me), but I find it helpful to at least be aware of what is in my chart. I'm still waiting on my records from my previous psychiatrist, that office seems to be taking forever and I requested those at least a week before the hospital records!
If you have seen yours, were you surprised or was it what you expected?
