Hello
My name is Johnathon and I'm in the army. I have been being seen for a few years now for depression and personality trait disorder. A few yearsw ago I had a doctor say that he thought that that I was BI Polar but did not want to put it into my medical records at the time. LAter that same year another said the samething. Yes I was a fool and did not have it documented.
My question is how long does it take to get diagnosed one way or the other? What is a fair price to think that you are going to pay by the hour to see a good doctor?
I'm currently thinking about seeking help outside of the army as the army is now not treating me they are just handing me off from doctor to doctor now. I do have to say at least they did try for a year or so to help me now it is meds and go see this person and then that one. But they also will not tell you what they write in your file and they are not willing to talk diagnoses anymore.

Thanks
Johnathon
