Over two years ago, I saw a psychologist at a county based clinic over stress due to a lot of suddenly occurring huge messes in my life that basically turned my world upside down temporarily.
In addition, I told the Doctor I suffer from low self-esteem, only because I was already there and thought I could get some advice on how to help boost my self confidence.
She asked me if I have ever had any suicide attempts, or thoughts. Being honest I replied, yes, that I have had suicidal thoughts. I explained that I was raised under more harsh circumstances than a lot of my family members, friends, and acquaintances have were/are. She asked if I thought I would ever act on them, and I answered honestly, no. I explained that the thought of death was appealing, for obvious reasons, and I didn't think it was a big deal considering most people have toyed with the idea of suicide from time to time...
I saw her twice, and discontinued seeing her due to the fact she was very young (mid to late twenties), with very little experience, and wasn't very good, she couldn't tell me anything I didn't already know.
I called the office today to ask how I could get my records from them so I can accurately fill out the paperwork for a career opportunity I have been looking forward to for quite some time. I was speaking to the women about my medical records over the phone. Knowing she couldn't legally give me all the information I wanted, I still managed to persuade her into giving me more information than she was allowed too. The Doctor had diagnosed me with a serious form of depression that could possibly disqualify me from entering, permanently...
The diagnoses is totally wrong. From what I have read, and know about myself, she has made a very big mistake. How do I fix this? Can I get it overturned? Or, do I have to see the Doctor again to prove that it's not severe, but minor?
Thank you for the advice about the medication, but that wasn't my question. Also, I haven't seen a doctor since then and dealt with the problems on my own, nor do I take medication...
The medication you recommended is for ADHD, and is not for the treatment of depression, like I described.
