I would also wonder if the treatment that he thinks will help will actually be helpful regardless of diagnosis. And, is it possible that I do have X along with some other things so we'll address X and then see what else needs addressing.

Sometimes Ts have to come up with a diagnosis quickly. For my insurance, they have to put down a diagnosis or insurance won't pay. Clearly T doesn't know what the real problem is after 1 visit, but they have to put something down. Is it possible that something like that is going on?
Yes and that's why some of us have vague dx like generalized anxiety disorder when the truth is, I probably have a lot of other things going on! It was a quick diagnosis in order to get insurance going.
