Re: Not exactly a vent, but something I just wanted to talk about

[(Anonymous)]

Just speaking as someone with a little experience with this, but by no means an expert, he probably didn't tell you upfront because of the fear that you'd relapse without a secure diagnosis. The fact that you were on medication that helped (and meds for anxiety do help treat a variety of other disorders, so it's no surprise that they used those without a solid diagnosis) was probably considered a win, and getting the right diagnosis could wait until you brought something else up - which you did. That aside, it's easier for the doctor to say, "Well, we didn't know what it was before, but with this new information, I'm reasonably certain it's this," than to say, "Well, we thought it was that, but it turns out I was wrong and it's actually probably this," because the latter implies that the doctor doesn't know what he's doing, while the former gives the more accurate impression that psychological disorders can be difficult to correctly diagnose, and doctors can be more cautious about giving you a diagnosis that may not be correct because it shows up on your record. They'd rather be right about something than accidentally brand you with an illness you don't actually have.

I'm sorry it bugs you, and it does suck that you feel that way, but please try to see it from his perspective. I very much doubt he was trying to deceive you; he has your best interests at heart, but he also needs to cover his own ass.

I'm just confused because he actually put it on my records for two years; for the past two years my official medical records have said that I have an unspecified personality disorder and now it's being erased and the doctor is making a note that he was wrong, but it was still THERE. It could have been there for ten years if I hadn't said anything. I understand hesitating to give me a diagnosis, but I don't understand putting it on my official records for two years and then not telling me about it.
