tbh the myth that docs explicitly tell you you’ve become officially disabled is another reason so many newly dx’ed sick folks don’t id as disabled!
literally SO MANY people think “yeah I have a chronic condition but my doc would’ve told me if I was DISABLED now, right?” (wrong)

a lot of docs are incentivized to behave as if their job is to prevent you from id’ing as “disabled & eligible for accommodations & benefits.”
Insurance-Endorsed Meds or Misattributing Everything To Psych needn’t be the *only* first-line interventions available.

like… imagine if our 1st steps in managing new symptoms involved immediately accommodating rest & recovery in workplace & education environments, because we *know* it can take years or decades to get chronic conditions dx’ed so dx is a bad proxy for disability onset.
(also when I say new symptoms, I am mentally including new psych symptoms in my definition.
the problem with misattributing everything to psych is both that it’s often used to deny necessary non-psych care. and many psych systems are violent & that is everyone’s problem.)
