Every doctor I have ever encountered (primary care, urgent care, ER, etc) outside of the psychology field balk when they see the medication I'm on, and look dumbfounded when I tell them it's for my BPD. I even had to explain BPD to a doctor once! What is it about doctors that make them so unwilling to accept and understand mental illness? Why don't they believe me when I tell them I'd be bedridden for the rest of my life without my medication? It frustrates me to tears...

Am I just unlucky? Or is this normal?
