As always, I think the problem with you is that you are some sort of highly intelligent person.. Maybe quite frankly, you might know more than some of the therapists, seeing what you are writing..And maybe that is quite the problem.. Sometimes if the patients know too much, the physicians lose interest.. They think "Oh. she already knows everything, what am I going to tell her".. But in fact, knowing and being able to experience happiness is quite different.. many people don't understand that even if a person seems to know everything, she still needs adequate therapy and teaching to learn to experience happiness.
So when you go to pdoc, I would probably advise, don't tell them all you know. Or maybe tell them, that you read a lot and you have ended up lots of information, but you don't know how to use them for yourself. That might help and maybe will open them up more instead of perceiving you as resistant to treatment
