Just wondering what folks' most disappointing experience with a psychaitrist has been Hope this is not too triggering for anyone. For me, it was my former pdoc not making the bipolar 1 diagnosis for many years, even when there was a fair bit of evidence for it. She called me Major Depressive. I could have really avoided a whole lot of anguish and loss if someone had just gotten me on some lithium or something a little earlier. I am not angry and do not blame her at all. I know it can be really hard for them. But this delayed diagnosis certainly has had a massive cost for me. I suppose my life could have been quite different...

Please forgive me if I upset anyone here. Not at all my intent. But sometimes it helps to talk about these things. At least it does for me. Hugs and love.
