You do have a very good point. I definitely think a good evaluation is really important, I just don't see this person taking it seriously enough to go through the trouble of going to a doctor to get a refferal and going back to try different meds if the first trial doesn't work. I also think that no one wants to be "mentally ill". I wish I could make them understand how much it helped me when we got the right meds for me. For any newbies, take to heart that once you find the right combo you CAN be helped. I have been diagnosed with quite a few things and it took a long time but once I found the right medications/combo, I wouldn't say it's a miracle, but I'm really greatful and feel much better.
