Racjen,
I don't know what to say - I feel gutted for you! I honestly, honestly do. Nobody ever thinks that the person inside themselves knows what the problem is, he didn't listen, he made a judgement. I also KNOW that my issues are hormonal, just as you do, - you've only got to look at my post-natal HORMONAL psychosis and the reaction I had to tamoxifen hormone therapy. I know myself, and know I am having problems now because of hormonal changes. I've had 18 years with no issues at all prior to this. Nobody ever seems to give credit to the intelligent person suffering to KNOW themselves. My surgeon did, she took me off tamoxifen ! I believe you, and clearly others do too that you've listed here.
Now, back to you - the trouble is his assessement will no doubt impact on the 'treatment' he perceives as being the right one. How can you progress on it ? Back to your GP, ask to see another psychi? I don't know.....others may have ideas....
