[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 350316, member: 1514"] In my state its a combination that does a diagnosis. Let me give an example. When I had to go through intake with mental health, I did alert them to what I had been diagnosed with before however their psychiatrist met with me in an office and asked me a bunch of questions. Quite a thorough exam. It took about 2 hours or so. Out of that exam came my bipolar diagnosis (again), borderline (which was new to me), my other AXIS diagnosis's, and a written report. Now after this, I was sent to get started...or restarted on medications with a recommendation to start therapy. The therapist took that report and looked at the psychiatrist's diagnosis's and we started treatment for those. It was up to her to decide if she truly felt those applied or if they were invalid, or if others got teased out over time. I have acquired a few things over the years that werent there when I was dxd. Especially since the meningitis. I have some executive function issues and some cluttering that wasnt there before. She will add this to my psychiatric report, not the doctor. [/QUOTE]
