Question
sgmdae
Give it your best advice
First, I had my first appointment with Clinical specialist, really it never happen.
The Dr, got me in ask me some question, gave me more meds, and said she didn't want me to get into the PTSD trama until I get my personal life in order. She directed the Specialist to do suicide prevention sheet on me. This is because I told her what I feel is that the amounts pills she gives me, gave me the idea, that pills are the way to commit suicide.
So off to the Mental Health Specialist. He does this sheet on suicide for me, and made a statement that I have sound rational, and know the difference from Right and Wrong. Ok whatever that means
I said that I have a track record of noting getting along with staff, and don't think I need to work with people any longer.
He said, there other option, I said like what, he SSI, I said under what conditions he said Mental. OK I guess
I asked him about a GAF assestment, he stated that the Dr probably has that in her notes, but she has never ask any ? under the criteria. I don't know what to think
First, is this correct care, do I have a DR, that not aware of GAF, or procedures. She seems to shy away from PTSD
She has mention Bipolar Disorder, OCP, depression, anxiety,
she didn't like the idea that was going to VET center, but honestly they have let me talk more, and gave me some advice.
I have follow up with DR, Mental health Specialist, and I think the janitor, maybe he will help
