Hi,
I think it's a combination of both- but perhaps the consumer more since that is what I'm being exposed to on this and other sites. As the internet makes these self-diagnosis tools more available and the psychiatrist spends maybe 15 minutes with the patient, I think you get a pretty large chance of error. I also live in California and think we're 1 of the few states with parity for major mental illnesses (interesting thought on your part) Take care, Judy
