So now the psychologists are wanting to stick "neuro" in front of their title. I guess we're supposed to be impressed at how scientific that is supposed to makes them sound. I noticed psychiatrists doing that back 20 years ago. With either group, a lot of what they do is not all that science-based.

The kind of support that would help me is probably not available. I'm probably just spinning my wheels by going to these people. I just felt desperate enough to try anything.

When it comes to diagnosing, a lot of it is based on their subjective feelings about you. A doctor who likes you is liable to come up with a different diagnosis than one who finds you off-putting. I went to a lot of them over the years, and a few of them didn't care much for me. Their diagnosis and advice would reflect that. So a diagnosis, either given or withheld, is to be taken with a large grain of salt. That's been my conclusion, after getting vastly different diagnoses from different pdocs.
