Honestly, we spent more time focusing on my depressive symptoms and anxiety. I imagine that will continue as well as addressing the ptsd symptoms.

——of course therapists work more w the symptoms. I think it’s more important for pdocs to get all parts of the diagnoses right within reason, because of course they prescribe the meds. With the 15 minute sessions I don’t see how they do anything right. I have diagnosed myself all my life until I finally realized I was bp2 mixed. Pdocs don’t like to put labels on you sometimes, because we are so suggestible. Me, I’d rather know, but after they told my girlfriend she was borderline she kept getting hospitalized w suicidal thoughts.
The thing I’m really getting irritated about is that I am having to get ideas about meds changes myself w pdoc only there as a safety net w knowledge of titration up and down, interactions, etc. The 15 minute med check is ridiculous unless your life is smooth sailing. I am reminding myself to ask for a longer session if I think something should be changed. Hugs!
