The issue is trends in diagnosis and treatment. Also, what facilities to deal with and how to deal with a doctor to obtain currently available options when you are being diagnosed. I can accept that in the end no matter how "focused" one is on psychiatric conditions that they (currently) can only be diagnosed/treated with trial and error evaluation of symptoms. But that doesn't mean that there are not new developments. I want to deal with people who are current and know about these developments. Many doctors and patients fall into a bare minimum routine when it comes to answering the question "what can be done about my mental disorder?". But not everyone in that camp is stuck in the past. Some patients and therapists know about the trends in psychiatry and consider that *before* veering towards some mood stabilizer. Anyway, I can't go around calling behavioral health facilities and asking who is interested in research and who isn't. I need to know which facilities to deal with and how to ask a professional for the services I need. This way they will help me.
