Brief Answer:
Consultation

Detailed Answer:
Hello, and thanks for your question.

I'd be happy to answer any question you have about a GAF score, as I specialize in these sorts of exams. What GAF score did the mental health team give you, and what GAF score did the physiologist give you? Perhaps you could also tell me about your mental health situation.

2007 - Initial exam I was told moderate to severe level. I rejected.
2010 - I had a episode; I was treated with meds and again told moderate to severe indirectly after being subjected to a formal assessment; Understood assessment was used to determine treatment plan.
2011 - January began treatment; records obtained by mental health team - moderate to severe
2011 - July in a 30 minute session with NUMEROUS INTERRUPTIONS determination changed to MILD

2011 - Present: I continue to daily deal with intertwined mental and medical condition. A major question for me is what did I do to deserve the
mistreatment that I receive?

Detailed Answer:
I'm sorry you have been going through so much. I can't speak on behalf of the providers who have seen you before, but I can say that what you describe sounds like at least moderate GAF impairment. You would be justified in seeking a second opinion given the fact that a mild GAF impairment indeed seems inaccurate to me.
