During my time in the military I found MTF psychiatrists to be obsessed with my mental health diagnosis at the expense of me feeling better. They “diagnosed” me with 4 personality disorders despite me not meeting the criteria for any personality disorder.
Now, a few months after being medically retired, I find myself in the midst of a manic episode no medication combo can tame. My psychiatrist has tried so many medication combinations and nothing is working. I may have to resort to hospitalization unfortunately.
I am reluctant to go back to a MTF. I definitely do not want to go to any VA. I have Tricare but if I go to a civilian hospital it would be about $800 just for an ER visit (I am Group B Tricare Select so I have a lot of copays).
Any advice?
