That is so so so unfortunate and terribly put. Adults do get evaluated! It is just a fact??
I don't know if it helps at all, but I wrote up my Super Serious Adult Voice response to this doctor. Sometimes I can't think in the moment how to respond when I'm so upset. So if you are struggling at all with how to tell your doctor to shove her opinion and schedule a damn evaluation already!
"I'd like to rule out all possibilities so I can approach my issues with appropriate strategies and best practices. Whatever the outcome, testing would provide peace of mind and would inform my plans for addressing the issues appropriately with my medical team and mental health providers going forward."
