Hi:
In my knowledge along with my personal experience, ... most of pdocs. hesitate to tell their patients 'TRUE' diagnose, ... probably, because a serious life-change/frexibility is needed in order to adjust the 'real' diagnose, such as Bipolar(with complexity) and schizo., ... particularly in the presence of family members. Then, my parents were quite upset by this incident, even though I was in my early 20's.
Like your son's dx.,.... on my first several visits, the pdoc. informed me as ADDH, MDD and more simpler form of mental illness. The pdoc. told me the 'truth,' ONLY after all medications failed and then I started to asking/begging more potent med. upon the submission/admission on my 'true' M.I.
