I got diagnosed with bipolar 4 months ago, but when i brought up my symptoms she said that “you couldn’t have possibly experienced mania before” when i know in fact i have, and you could ask any of my immediate family that i have! it’s stressful for them and for me. why would she diagnose me with bipolar (even though that’s what fits i’m just confused) if she thinks i’ve never had mania before? for context i’m 16 and have had to change doctors recently due to my old doctor diagnosing me with dmdd even if i showed little to no symptoms. but he refused to diagnose me with anything else, finding this new doctor she diagnosed me with bpd on our first session. it feels as if she didn’t take the time to asses my state. is this normal?
