This is so ridiculous. I was first diagnosed with bipolar disorder, and mental health professionals/staff were patient and respectful.  They took the time to give me explanations, they were answering all my questions politely, they were considerate. Now, this year I was also given the BPD label in addition to the bipolar diagnosis, and all the doctors treat me like shit. Since then, when I ask the same  questions, they think I'm 'noncompliant' and therefore doctors are being rude and sarcastic. My doctor (a psychiatrist) always tell me: 'if you're not happy about that [dosage increase/decrease], then don't take medication and don't come here', instead of having a discussion. She won't have any discussion AT ALL. 

Even when I went to the EMR  the nurse told the psychiatrist that I probably had BPD. And when he first met me (and he didn't know anything at all about me) his first sentence was: 'So..... Do you still have any friends left?'. He was super rude and sarcastic. And when he heard from my doctor that bipolar disorder was my main diagnosis, then his attitude completely changed. He suddenly became a normal polite doctor. He took all the time to reassure me. He was acting normal, I'd even say nicely. 

How can that improve your condition? I became even more distrustful. I feel totally invalidated. And even more hopeless about my treatment and my recovery...
