I find second and third opinions to be very valuable. A second opinion literally saved my wife’s life from a blood infection the first doctor thought was “impossible”… it’s important to be your own advocate with your physical and mental health, and it’s even more important to remember that doctors are just people, and people can make mistakes. And in my case, doctors are usually too proud to realize or admit theyve made a mistake. Not calling you or your thoughts or feelings into doubt at all.
Have you gotten a second opinion from a doctor or psychiatrist not associated with your current doctor?
No, I haven’t
