Thank you for that link! That was an interesting read.

My own PCP gave me a GAD diagnosis initially. I don't even know what he should have done to be honest, or to the extent that it colored evaluation from other doctors.

The time from when I first saw my PCP to when I saw a neurologist was about a month. Maybe if I saw a neurologist earlier it would have been "too early"? I have no idea.

My main quibble still remains with the ER who sent me to a psych unit without a neurologist seeing me. But I'm not a doctor and I don't know how to evaluate the reasonableness of it. It was very likely multi-factor. (And I was eager to get into an in-patient facility due to being so unstable at home.)
