Not very many. About as many times as I would forgive a GP. Like you said, it depends on the severity/type. I was in treatment for a few years before being diagnosed with DID. Prior to that they used depression and anxiety as diagnoses for insurance billing, medicated me for depression and anxiety, tried to address those things in therapy. I'm ok with that. Now it's ok for pdoc to say that there are no meds for DID, but meds can help with anxiety which is one of my symptoms of DID.
I don't expect perfection, but I do expect professionalism. Which includes apologizing for mistakes and owning them. And not suggesting things that are obviously dumb.
