ESA medical unsure what doctor meant

I have both physical health and mental health issues. Yesterday I went for my ESA medical. The doctor focused on my physical health only. She asked a few questions about shopping and driving. After examining me she said that she had enough information for a decision to be made and did not need to know discuss my mental health issues. At that point I had a bad episode that shocked both the doctor and my mother

My question is: did the doctor mean that I am effectively in the support group and she ended the assessment as suggested in their work book

Thanks
