No biggie about the abbreviation, bide. It wouldn't upset anyone here. I just thought you'd rather not use it in front of a doctor else it cause confusion.
A psychiatrist is pretty crucial for a mental health diagnosis, especially for one more significant than passing situational or mild stuff. Also, many GPs prefer not to handle anything beyond the mentioned. I agree with what BethRags wrote about GPs.
