In my opinion, it is just a waste of valuable and expensive time continuing to discuss a diagnosis. You are lucky to be seeing a Pdoc for therapy. If there is a problem with your meds he will be able to assist with that.
You have been making great strides; keep focusing on your treatment plan and trust your Pdoc.

I don't mean to start an argument or anything. But, psychologists also have very extensive training and experience with diagnoses. I have had several psychiatrists make mistakes on my diagnosis, and the psychologists I have seen were right. I know that these experiences are anecdotal. But, I have also worked with psychiatrists in a former career, and have seen them make huge mistakes in diagnoses.
Being a physician doesn't make you an expert at everything.
