A member asked:
How would you feel about having a psychiatrist who says you are impulsive?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Worth listening: Mental health professionals often have to tell patients news they'd rather not hear. If your psychiatrist says you're impulsive, it would be reasonable to ask for examples. That is not a diagnosis but a description of behavior. Is it causing problems? If it is and is happening a lot, why? What can you do about it. Sounds like the start of an important discussion.
