There definitely is bias in docs and pdocs for labeling women as simploy emotionally labile/neurotic/hypochondriacal. It was frustrating and humiliating when I sought help for a myriad of health problems connected with biological, not personality-caused problems.
Now that I feel better, I contemplate writing letters to some of these doctors, and also think of what is most important to convey and how to convey it in the future to get the message across.
