Did you get diagnosed? Anonymous 01/16/15 (Fri) 10:59:07 No. 6172
You really should if you can afford it. Professionals spend years in school and possibly their entire careers on dealing with Mental Disorders. A self diagnosis is usually only good in knowing something maybe wrong, but not what is wrong.

I got my depression diagnosed 4 or 5 years ago. I've been experiencing relapse, but I don't really want to go again because it's embarrassing. It's like I completely failed my therapist and my family that was behind me throughout the previous process.

Getting a diagnosis terrifies me and I hate therapists.

I had deprassion but funnly enough i dealt with it and now enjoy my life a lot. One I was eating apple and realized its taste was so majestic. Even tough apple wasnt that great and I dont even like it that much it just made me realize I am actually alive. I am not sure if i can give any advice but learning small pleasures is the way deal with deprasion.

>>6198 It's not perfect, as the field is relatively young, and there isn't an easy way to measure the things that cause disorders compared to more physical things, but surely it's better than self-diagnosis.

>>6199 I don't understand how it's SURELY better…
I won't say self-diagnosis is better, I actually don't give a damn, but I could say at least it makes you having an interest on your situation rather than offloading.

>>6180 I understand that feeling, anon. I'm just going back to therapy myself after a few years. My two cents: don't deny yourself help if you need it. Depression wins when it convinces you that you shouldn't get help. Let your therapist know what's going on, they'll probably be glad you did.

I haven't. I don't think I can open up to someone, even a professional trained to deal with my bullshit.

I've been professionally diagnosed with OCD, GAD, depression, and Tourette's syndrome. I have symptoms of ADHD and brought it up to my doctor before, but she shrugged it off and said that those symptoms were probably a side effect of any of my disorders or medication.

I need help. How do I go about being diagnosed, especially if I have no insurance?

>>6525 You know it is kind of funny, once a doctor thinks you have aspergers it is quite difficult to convince them otherwise.
One scenario I remember was between me and my doctor discussing ways to cope with wanting to avoid people and their response was basically "Oh you just have poor social skills, more interaction will fix that." which was utter bullshit, mind you, as casual social interactions leaves me feeling awful and guilty.
On the bright side, I was eventually forced away to an actual psych hospital(for God knows what reason) where multiple people could closely assess me.
So…yeah. Getting a diagnosis has made me feel better in knowing myself, but getting diagnosed because of one doctor's opinion is prone to be flawed.

>>6528 I really don't get how that works. I show A LOT of signs of DPD and even a bit of BPD here and there and she just brushes it off. I'm pretty much an emotional bitch but that's just asperer's lol

>>6529 A lot of people with aspergers experience depression and suicidal thoughts.
Your doctor is probably assuming this is regular depression due to social isolation and other things caused by aspergers. Even if it appears to come from no where and persists. Thus proving you have either DPD or BPD is extremely difficult unless you were perfectly fine and get depressed with no improvement.
