I've been seeing this current one for almost a year. It's not that she won't give me a diagnosis, it just never comes up, ever. When I bounce around to other psychological disorders sites, i notice that most people on them have specific diagnoses. I just wonder why, when all the therapists I've seen give me medications for specific disorders, that none of them have come out and said what it is that i have exactly.
I'm just getting paranoid and thinking I don't really have a 'disorder' and they are just placating me by giving me drugs.
Conspiracy?? Maybe I am just too sensitive.
thanks for your reply though
How are you doing these days?
