It seems that her psychologist made a conclusion based on your sister's story only and your sister took the advice without discussing the issue with you.

I looked up this term &amp; I am none of the symptoms mentioned. I advised my sister to look it up where she seemed surprised, but still believed the professional who told her this about me. &nbsp;</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>I spoke to my psychologist of 12+ years about it, and she said no you are not that. And also that psychologists should not be giving out diagnoses of others without seeing them &amp; hearing all sides.&nbsp;<BR /><BR /></P><P>It caused quite a rift between my sister &amp; I, and we are now sadly estranged. Can I make a complaint about this psychologist? Granted things were not perfect between us, but this certainly set the tone of further negativity &amp; distance between my sister &amp; I.&nbsp;</P> Thu, 24 Jul 2025 03:37:27 GMT https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/relationship-and-family-issues/sisters-psychologist-diagnosed-me/m-p/612653#M55576 Lee79 2025-07-24T03:37:27Z https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/relationship-and-family-issues/sisters-psychologist-diagnosed-me/m-p/612702#M55585 <P>Hello</P><P>I'm so sorry about your relationship with your sister.
