As part of the ongoing diagnostic process, I was asked to take the <a href=http://www.healthatoz.com/healthatoz/Atoz/ency/minnesota_multiphasic_personality_inventory_mmpi-2.html>MMPI</a>, the results of which took a long time to return to me. Turns out that I scored 'invalid' on the test, with the implication by my doctor that I was trying to throw the results, even though I answered the sometimes insipid questions completely honestly. Now doctor and family alike are looking askance at me, and I feel a bit paranoid over where treatment options will go next due to this (I've already had some very bad reactions to alleged "low side effect" medications). Should I change doctors, re-take the test, or just let it pass? tag:ask.metafilter.com,2004:site.7751 Sun, 06 Jun 2004 18:48:18 -0800 bipolardisorder medicaldiagnosis mmpi WolfDaddy
