If you only mention anxiety and depression, there is a possibility the new pdoc may only prescribe an antidepressant. If you have bipolar disorder, taking only an antidepressant could be risky. So your new pdoc might prescribe the wrong thing or prescribe something based on a certain amount of ignorance. If you become hypomanic or manic (or mixed), so it will be an "Oh! What do you know! Wiretwister has bipolar disorder!" That sounds innocent enough, but the reality could be a far far worse statement.

If you doubt the bipolar diagnosis, why are you reluctant to just flat out say that? You have the right to have a whole new psychiatric evaluation done. If you don't doubt the bipolar diagnosis, you then would apparently seem to want to just play games. Of course I know you're free to do that, but I agree with the poster who said it wouldn't likely be appreciated by that psychiatrist.
Thanks for this!
