How to approach a doctor about a medical card (PTSD) I approached two doctors in my medical state for PTSD.  Both have been a flat-out no.  The first doctor told me my symptoms were not severe enough.  The second said that he would not add "PTSD" as a diagnosis to my record for the purposes of authorizing a cannabis card.

However, neither would state that I do not have PTSD, which I think I do.  My medical records state just about every other term next to PTSD, and have been accumulating there since I was little.  I've just never had a reason to care about what my medical records specifically stated before.

I am currently being treated with an SSRI and Benzos if I want them, which I don't.  SSRI works fine.  Cannabis works way better than Benzos for me.

What's a good way to find a doctor I can talk to?  I'm not sure if it's my approach (it might be), the doctors I am talking to, or if maybe I should just accept this won't work out.
