"GP making psychological diagnosis!"

My son was present when the GP stated that he could be suffering from Pathological Grief Response'. Upon hearing this my son was extremely angry, very detached and seemed unable to understand his own feelings/behaviours in a worse way than before for 3-4 weeks until I telephoned CAMHs who insisted they would never use such terminology with a child, they had never heard of pathological grief response and indeed it would be very unlikely that they would label a child pathological. This seemed to restore some order to my son's reasoning capacity and he slowly began to settle again.

Also a few weeks earlier I said (on my first visit to the same GP with my other son) that we just 'need a little bit of help please'! The GP in question offered me no support, no telephone numbers or advice on who to contact and actually questioned my relationship with my elder son! Which was why I sought help in the first place. They completely disregarded our needs as a family and my judgement as a mother. With hindsight I should have discussed the matter in more depth with my son who thought he was going to be labelled with a disorder like his elder brother.

In both cases I feel the GP should not have attempted to diagnosis/judge how to proceed and that should have been left to the professional in that department.

I understand the GP wanting to share their knowledge, but they had no knowledge of me as a professional and of my family as a whole.
