Poll Other Diagnoses

[Rob_Dog19]

It's pretty interesting to me that most of us have listed bipolar disorder as another diagnosis...I think I am overdiagnosed...it seems to me that if you have a few odd behaviors that halfway fit with bipolar, they throw it on your Dx list and medicate you. I've been taking seroquel and lamictal for bipolar, but my "manic episodes" really havent lessened. I call foul on these over-diagnosing docs

Hi Rob_dog, what you say can be true, BP IS overdx'd. It happened to me, pm me if you want to discuss...

clinical depression, anxiety, anorexia b/p subtype (< though not currently), ADHD....

and most recently : " borderline " "attachment disorder" <<both of which I don't believe to be true at ALL ! haha.

the whole concept of ptsd has been relatively new to me. i've been in the mental health system for years and years but always for other issues. i've been hospitalized a bunch but never ptsd related.

I thought if I survived my crippling eating disorder I'd be okay and back to "normal," little did I know......... still in therapy!
