> You mentioned that your regular pdoc and the SS pdoc are in disagreement about what constitutes being psychotic, and this leads me to ask if part of applying for SS disability involves them (SS) making you see one of THEIR pdocs as part of the evaluation process?

Yeah that is how SS disability operates a lot of times. When I applied for SS disability a few years back (got turned down and didnt bother appealing it) I had to see this other local psychiatrist SS disability contracted with. For an "objective" or neutral opinion. Evidently what he thought was that I wasnt that bad. He thought I had agitated depression basically. I didnt like the psychiatrist SS disability had me see...I would never go to that guy on my own. But I didnt care, I paid nothing SS disability pays for it.
So if they make you see another doctor, keep in mind thats normal and you wont have to pay.
