I did not realise it was that bad over there in the US with insurance systems needing a diagnosis to get insurance covered. I knew that companies may not cover enough treatment but to gain access to treat you need a diagnosis almost there and then, my god. I'm sorry for the nasty experiences those of you have been through.

Neko it may not mean your not observant enough. Mental health is complex enough and sometimes people are really good at hiding they have problems. It's that "smile and no one will know something is wrong" Then again, it's difficult to be sure.

justapuppet 16 months is a long time to get to know a patient. I hope your treatment is continuing down the right path.
