I ordered mine because I needed to know past medication trials for a new psychiatrist. I’ve been on one too many to remember myself. Instead of sticking to the medication information, I decided to ask for my records in their entirety. Mostly because it was the same cost, but admittedly, who wouldn’t be curious? I received over a hundred pages from multiple stays in my teen years, over five years ago now. 

Reading different clinical takes on my mental health in its most volatile point was re-traumatizing at best. Some terms, names  and opinions on my dark situation really cut me to my core. There truly wasn’t any good to come out of it. I know ordering and reading through files are going around like some sort of trend. After doing it, I’d like to stress
