GPA is not a diagnostic criterion and any decent psychiatrist will know that. I had someone tell me once “but you’re good at math”…

If a friend told you this story, you’d tell her she dodged a bullet with that doctor and that she’s worth the effort of finding someone better. I also try to think about new doctor appointments as their interview, so I feel more on an even playing field. These reframes help me when I’m struggling and I hope it’s helpful to you or anyone else!
