If something's pretty clear they'll probably give you a diagnosis of that. If something is possible, they'll say "rule out xxxx". I got the notes from one, and he gave a diagnosis of major depression and OCD and a rule out diagnosis of borderline and schizotypal. What he had in the notes was pretty much what he had said when we met, so it was no big deal.

I have to agree with you about the conferring. I know it's worked well for many, but it was such a disaster for me that I don't think I *ever* want a pdoc that is in regular contact with my therapist again.

And I did get a completely fresh start with the pdoc I have now. No consulting with my therapist, no transfer of records. And he noticed things about my meds that I wonder if he would have noticed if he hadn't come in with no preconceptions. And he had a completely different diagnostic impression on the Axis II personality disorders. Came as close as a doctor can come to saying that the previous doctor was completely wrong.

It sounds as if you have a good plan in place. Good luck!
