What kind of doctor are you seeing? Is it a psychiatrist? That's who you should see - someone who can diagnose the problem and prescribe meds. It shouldn't take so long to get evaluated. I filled out a short questionnaire - maybe 25-50 questions and…

To diagnose me, my doctor had me buy the book "Delivered from Distraction" and take the test inside. Perhaps try it and take it to your doctor. If he/she won't listen, find somebody else. I know psychiatric care without insurance can cost a fortune,…
