[QUOTE="Fran, post: 262893, member: 3"] Janet, diagnosing is the sacred cow of MD's and PhD's. No one can diagnose but those professionals. If you think of how insurance is paid and services are doled out, it is all based on a diagnosis given from the DSM IV(I think that is the recent one) Only doctors. can give that label so that insurance pays and services given. You must meet the criteria for the professionals to give us what we need. I never, ever go in to a new professional with my diagnosis. I simply speak of symptoms regardless of what I know it to be. If I already think I have the diagnosis then why do I care what they think? Because I can't get services without they professional signature and they want to analyze the symptoms and come with the diagnosis on their own. I don't want to set up a defensiveness with someone who I need for treatment and services. Once you have a working relationship it's a little different. Janet, you have every right to lead your treatment plan team regardless of how annoying this person is. [/QUOTE]
