Do you think this is a setup or legit medical inquiry?

Thealmightsmash suggested on a thread that I might want to see a neurologist over weird dreams (and also I have been having terrible headaches). So, I went to an ophthamologist yesterday because the headaches were in my eyes too. He did a bunch of tests including a vision field and said I have significant pappilladema (not spelled right) and a loss of peripheral vision. From our discussions, it could be something really serious but I don't think so. He sent me to a neurologist who asked a lot of questions that seemed to be the kind a psych would ask so I refused to answer those questions because I think he might be trying to set me up to go to some psychiatric center (the same day referral seemed sketchy to me). The neuros (the original had another guy come in) sent me off for an immediate head MRI (good service if you have good insurance ) and I'm supposed to go in at 1 to get the results. They close at noon today but are staying open late just for me so I can't complain about the service there.

I'm thinking of cancelling because they seem to be anxious to get me in and I suspect my Dad has found out and they are going to send me to the mental hospital, and I'm not going. I can take passion flower for the headaches. I just called my eye doctor (who is really nice) and he said "you really need to go" (and I didn't know this, but apparently, I think, he's going to come over too).

I don't want to research papilladema because medical searches on the internet will scare you for no reason because you never have the bad stuff that the internet suggests.

Seems to me this is some ruse to get me into some mental ward. Advice? Thanks.
