My doctors have also not told me my diagnosis unless I asked or ordered my medical records. When we are first diagnosed, it would be helpful if they told us our diagnosis and recommended appropriate coping strategies. I first went to a psychiatrist because of suicidal thoughts and he asked some questions then prescribed some pills saying, "This will make you feel better." I did not look up what I was taking (the risks, side effects) which caused a huge problem later (an attempt) when I dropped the medications cold turkey. Unfortunately, people have to do their own research, listen to their body, and advocate for what they want and need or their treatment can go very wrong.

Glad you are seeking a better doctor. Keep reassessing your conditon. Staying stable is an ongoing challenge. Good luck.
