Ugh haha! That's annoying, can relate. I got disqualified by my psychiatrist because I can work independently ๐ Fuck haha. HOW stupid is that?
I got pissed, immediately drove to the clinic where I got my referral, got a doctor, and told him I wanted another referral for a second opinion, told him the psychiatrist's opinion didn't make sense to me. He told me it's subjective, and said I could do a self assement. I haven't done it yet haha, but I'd recommend pushing the subject.
