Another psychiatric evaluation

My case manager told me that the charity organization I belong to wants me to get another psych evaluation.
I guess that it is required if I want to continue receiving services.

I’ll ask my doctor about giving me another one.

The psych hospital performed one on me 3 years ago.
They diagnosed me with schizoaffective bipolar type.

Should be interesting.

I hope you continue to get whatever help you need. Are you worried you might not?

No I’m not worried.
Thanks @LilyoftheValley

I’d love another evaluation. A lot of times I doubt I have sz and would love the reassurance that I’m not just making it all up. You know?

Yeah my diagnoses have always been either SZA or bipolar or both.

Mine was pd then sz then sz with depression. I just don’t know. Maybe it’s borderline and I’m just making all this up?

Why don’t you get another opinion from a different psychiatrist @LED?

Mostly insurance. But even still I was just in the hospital in August and was semi evaluated there and in the ER and everyone agreed the sz diagnosis was fitting. I guess it’s more just a worry of mine because my family has a history of making me believe I’m making everything up for attention. Hasn’t been an issue for 15 years but it still sticks with me, I guess.

I’m sorry that your family does this to you.
