Yeah it’s like once they latch on to one disability they refuse to look for other possibilities. But then you become a drug seeker or some shit. It’s annoying. The VA was latched onto PTSD; took until I argued with my regular psych that I needed to seek another opinion because he refused to believe I had ADHD and or bipolar. I’m almost it certain it’s ADHD but now they’re attached to bipolar. It’s hell.
