Understood about your frustration but these are tools they use to assess based on other medical models. Be patient with care providers and yourself. They will need to rule out many things before they truly understand.

While I appreciate your patience and macro view …. a terribly sick patient goes in for help and is highjacked by a mental health worker— who proceeds to TELL sick pt’s PCP?!? And now their primary care physician blows them off and their symptoms as being psychiatric issues ??
No. That is unacceptable.
This chat has helped so many of us who are life-altering ill and who have TRIED clinics… and are told it is “a mental illness”. Doctors are human, I agree. And very little is known abt this, yes. But human beings can just say: I don’t know. I’m sorry.
