Yes! In doubt, keep asking or move forward to a different doctor.
I've already been diagnosed wrongfully twice. First as bipolar, then as borderline. I was prescribed the wrong - and awful- medication then, like clonazepam, abilify and etc. It damaged my body.
Only after a few years, I sat down with a fantastic specialist and after many sessions he was able to tell that I had severe depression. I'm traumatized by meds and its side effects, so I don't take them at all; but knowing what my diagnosis is has made a big difference as I look for proper techniques on how to deal with it.
