1) "she is not responding to internal stimuli"

- does it mean that I am not hearing voices? or what?

It has been mentioned consistently in the notes for each of my visit for the past 16 months.

2) "her speech is spontaneous, at conversational rate and volume; not pressured"

is pressured speech the kind of think a manic patient would display?

3) "her TP is linear" - does TP stand for thought process?

linear seems to be a good thing - right? Does it mean that each sentence flows logically from the previous one? or what?

4) "her mood is euthymic with full and congruent affect"

does it mean that the facial expressions are consistent with the content of the speech?

5) Axis II: dependent traits, no mention of self-defeating, even though we went over this in depth with the p-doc, and I indeed have dependent traits but not a full-blown dependent PD, but also, at least in the past, had a full-blown self-defeating PD. Do they not mention it because self-defeating PD is not in the current DSM? We went over each bullet...

6) "making strong eye contact" on some visits, which seems fine, and

"she sits mostly still with slightly wide eyed stare making strong eye contact"

this "wide eyed stare" happened on several visits with two different p-docs. What does it mean?

7) "her mood is euthymic with constricted and congruent affect"

What is constricted affect? How is it different from "full affect" in item 4 above?

8) in the past - "her TP is circumstantial"

what exactly does it mean and how is it different from "tangential" thought process?

9) "denies AH/VH" - what are those?

10) "thought process - goal directed"

How is different from "linear TP" in item 3 above? "goal directed" was used by one p-doc, and "linear" by another p-doc.

11) "mood "good" affect - appropriately reactive"

What does that mean? reactive to what - the p-doc's words?

Thanks!
