They Still Weren’t Convinced
So, I’m a therapist and I work with kids. Worst misdiagnosis was a family with a two-week-old who was convinced the baby had 1) anxiety—because he cries, 2) autism—little eye contact, and 3) bipolar disorder—because the baby would seem content then suddenly angry.
I spent HOURS explaining child development, what these diagnoses mean, how they would present in kids. I provided them with books, handouts, etc.
They insisted on going to see my co-worker and a psychiatrist as I was surely lying to them. Even after meeting with the other two professionals, they still weren’t convinced. They requested psych meds from the doc. Story credit: Reddit
