[QUOTE="Baggy Bags, post: 736795, member: 22819"] It doesn't seem right that they would put that on you like that. Is there another psychiatrist you could ask if this is standard protocol, or if it just sounds crazy to them too? I was sure for years that my mom was bipolar, but after really studying personality disorders (for my son) I have come to realize that it is probably a lot more complicated than just bipolar, if she's even bipolar at all. I don't know, it just doesn't sound right. That should be their job, not yours. I mean, of course, parents should educate themselves about the diagnosis, and if they don't feel it fits, it should be taken into consideration for final diagnosis, but to completely put it on you like that - "you would know" - makes me think that they don't know. Try to get 3rd, 4th, 5th opinions if you can. [/QUOTE]
