I'm finally making plans to see a psychiatrist. I've put off my mental health for so long out of military aspirations, but it's not worth it anymore. I've known for years that I've had a problem and figured out at the beginning of the year that I more than likely have BPD.
So what happens during the initial visit? I've never even been to a therapy session so I have no clue what happens. Would it be ok to tell the psychiatrist I believe I have BPD? I don't want them to believe that I am tailoring my questions to this specific disorder.
