This is quite true. My psych doc of 30 years refused to dx me with BiPolar and yet one week with a new psych doc and he was determined I had BPll and now that is on my insurance chart.


Same with my neurological symptoms. My neurologist feels my symptoms are a seizure disorder whereas the trauma clinic I went to dx'd me as a dissociative disorder.


I am finding there is no exact science to diagnose, it's whomever you feel comfortable with and trust to go forward with and that is rare to find.

It's all theoretical, and seems to be quite arbitrary , in my opinion
