Diagnosis seems incorrect

If the diagnosis seems wrong, it is probably wrong. You know your body and mind better than anyone else, and you are in control.

Give yourself some time, though, before making your final decision that the diagnosis is incorrect. You may find that there are aspects of the diagnosis that turn out to be true, or which you later identify with.

If you have decided that your diagnosis is incorrect, tell your doctor, and stand up for yourself. Mental illnesses, while very real, are different from physical illnesses in that you may have stronger special insight that your doctor does not have.
