Could your psychiatrist just have been plain wrong? They have flaws and failings like anyone else. Diagnosis is based on a number of factors and if they can't tick off enough boxes then accuracy is difficult. It's ok, in a tactful way, to express your feelings about the diagnosis. I don't know about testing. When I was diagnosed it was based on history provided by me. I hope this helps.

Yes, I agree with you. I don’t blame them. Maybe, I’m the one who is not right. Psychology is not exact and there are grey areas, difficult to see if you don’t touch all the boxes of this person.
My current psychiatrist is pretty open to his clients. I think I have shared with him much more than with any other one.
Maybe, because I know more about myself, now.
He’s also pretty receptive towards meds. He mainly recommended me therapy and what for meds regards, he’s very aware of my need for the lower dosage as posible to treat my symptoms.
I feel that I can have all the confidence to talk to him about any doubt I have, however it’s not easy for me. I should trust people more bc at that point, I should know that he is smart enough to not feeling questioned and provides me the help and guidance I need.
