Hi all. This post is not strictly about depression, but I’m trying to assess how much trouble I will have with the medical establishment over this semi self-diagnosis. It isn’t in The DSM-V (dropped it at the last minute amidst controversy). Here is the World Health Organization’s definition:
After successfully keeping my life mostly positive with a diagnosis of Major Depressive Disorder and Generalized Anxiety Disorder, the DSM-V came out, I changed GPs and things went downhill. All of a sudden I was diagnosed Bipolar II by one Pdoc and BPD by another. There are symptoms in both (violence, narcissism, risky behaviour, etc.) that I have never manifested. C-PTSD fits me perfectly.
compound this by my basically being locked out of the mostly useless ‘mental health care system’ here in NS, I have basically been untreated for years now.
Has anybody here had any experience with this diagnosis? Ant thoughts/advice on getting this diagnosis recognized? I’m at a point where I can’t even leave the apartment by myself. Life is just pure misery and I can’t get any help.
