Hard to say. A doctor once said I had Major Depressive Disorder, but they don't seem to think so anyone. They said I had Generalized Anxiety Disorder, but I wonder if my anxiety isn't just from my PTSD and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. I also have ASD, which some people consider psychological but some people consider more neurological. I also have people in my head that talk to me, I'm told I don't have Schizophrenia or psychosis but sometimes I wonder if I don't have some sort of diagnosed issue that causes this. I know for sure I have ASD, PTSD, OCD, and depression (not sure if considered clinical depression or not) but its all kind of blurry really.
 
In my teens I had OCD, which lead to Anorexia & GAD. Then I got all back to "normal" again (I use quotation marks because who knows what normal even is??). And then the obvious PTSD which was diagnosed around April time.
 
According to my health-care portal, my problems are PTSD, Major Reaccuring Depression, GAD, and just Depression. My psychologist has not entered Social Anxiety though in sessions he does acknowledge I do have Social Anxiety Disorder.

For a few days, recently, after seeing the doctor for a physical problem (neck issues that are now causing pain going in the arms and legs) they had added Cannabis Related Disorder (I use medical marijuana twice a day). This was not done by my regular Primary care doctor but the Physician Assistant. When I went in to see my primary care doctor yesterday in a follow-up appointment, as I had to go to emergency after seeing the PA, and I let him know that I demand he remove that 'problem'. He did remove that and added my neck issue, which the PA did not add. I have always been honest with my primary care doctor and his staff of my medical marijuana use because I list it as one of the medications/supplements that I use.

As I tell the kids I work with, "Normal should be taken out of the dictionary!" :bookworm: Everybody has a different idea of what normal is, and no two people have the same definition.:tup:;)
 
I'm PTSD and Bi-Polar. Originally the bipolar was thought to be only general depressive disorder, bu...
I changed my answer to 4, because one more was added and I forgot one. Since I don't remember how to spell one of them and the other is not so much mental as brain related, I won't bother with details.
