Has my pdoc lost it?

I got a letter for disability accommodations at college. It was suggested I do so-so my pdoc wrote one. Either he’s misspoke or is crazy. He wrote my diagnoses on there. Bpd is missing but bp and ptsd are on there with “conduct d/o confined to family context.”

Umm I’ve never been violent in my life. I’ve never been in a physical altercation or hit anyone. I don’t even spank kids. So I called pdoc office and asked for an explanation. Waiting for call back.

He could be crazy, but I’m not getting that sense. I do think he should have discussed the content of the letter with you before submitting it.

He could be trying to protect you. Perhaps you can get all of the accommodations you need with the PTSD and BP diagnoses, so he left BPD off because it wasn’t needed and unfortunately still carries a significant negative stigma.

I hope you get the answers and accommodations you deserve.

I agree with the above. There is unfortunately (still) a significant negative stigma associated with BPD so this may be why he was inaccurate, he was actually trying to protect you. These are my thoughts anyway. I hope you get the accommodations you deserve

So apparently he used my ip dx from My most recent hospitalization which I don’t get but whatever. Also-that Er obviously didn’t know me. My pdoc said it was not his dx. His are bp1 and ptsd.

Not supposed to put diagnoses on those things.

He has to because it’s a
Disability accommodations letter for school.

What does d/o mean?

When I got a disability letter for college, they didn't include a diagnosis, just said the accommodations I needed.

D/o=disorder

My daughter is a disability accommodations liaison for a very large university. You can't get an accommodation without disclosing your disability. That's pretty standard. How would the disability office know what you need if they don't know what you have?

If I understand you correctly, your psychiatrist decided to use your most recent diagnoses from your most recent admission. He's allowed to do that. What I'm not clear on is the conduct disorder family focused. Was your admission around the same time your sister tried to become your guardian? Did you become aggressive with your sister (it doesn't have to be physical) and she reported it? Also, conduct disorder is usually a diagnosis of children. Adults don't usually get that diagnosis. They get a different one. Anyway, you need to have a conversation with your psychiatrist about the conduct disorder dx. Bipolar disorder and PTSD make sense. The conduct disorder is odd.

You can address the questionable diagnosis at your next Pdoc appt.

The focus is you got a letter that will allow you to get accommodations going back to college.

Don’t sweat it

I agree with Christina -- try to focus on the fact you're getting accommodations now that you have the letter.

I'm sure it's annoying/irritating that you have "conduct disorder" written in your pdoc's letter, but you can't change the fact your school has already read the letter. You can try to get the diagnosis "fixed" for the future, but between now and your pdoc appt, try your best to let it go so that you don't stress too much over it or get too frustrated. You want to do well in school and you don't need the added stress.

Well it was given to me at ip. I told my psyd and said it’s a dx for children and that it doesn’t fit nearly anything I struggle with. So whoever gave it to me must have been confused or something. Anyhow it’s not o. My record as an official dx from my pdoc. Just hospital discharge.

It was before I found out she was trying thr guardianship bs. She may have called and tried tk give false info idk. I’ve never been aggressive physically but have yelled at her. But at that time neither of those happened. Before she petitioned guardianship I thought we were good.
