What were you diagnosed with?

[silentsinger]

I have cancer but I struggle with ptsd due to certain circumstances in my life. Extreme anxiety and a feeling of worthlessness.

 

[bluesleep]

Severe depression and obsessive thoughts

 

[felix987671]

asperger and a strange depression, no idea why I turned depressive, nothing helps. I used to be ok with asperger.

 

[DoomedxFromBirth]

Depression, anxiety, chronic migraines.

 

[IsItReallyParanoia]

I never go to any kind of doctor for anything related to mental health. Like honestly, I don't even know where tf I am exactly supposed to go for that in this country. I do believe I have depression, but not gonna select that cause I'll never actually go and get diagnosed.

 

[thedutchguy]

Chronic pain (3 vertebrae worn out), fybromyalgia, double sides chronic clusterheade (21hours a day), anxiety dissorder

[WinterIsComing]

Depression and Avoidant personality disorder diagnosed.
At first they told me distimia which sounded like bias because the doctor feel asleep dumping sessions and I was almost all the time depressed.

 

[soda_pressed]

Depression, anxiety, aspergers. Used to be anorexic and bulimic, and I strongly suspect I have BPD

 

[Oblivion Lover]

I only was officially diagnosed with anxiety and depression, but I also suspect of having Asperger's syndrome, ADHD and borderline intellectual functioning (IQ lower than average). The psychiatrists in my country refuse to believe that there are mental diseases other than depression, schizophrenia and anxiety, so I might never know if I was right. I consider myself pretty good at self diagnosing, though. A few months ago I had crippling pains in the abdominal region and I correctly diagnosed myself with gastroenteritis, while the doctors from a public hospital thought that I had appendicitis without any evidence LOL.

A+ for you... The more diagnosable illnesses, the more medication prescriptions, the more money.

The brain (source of "mental illness") - the most complicated and misunderstood thing in the entire known universe.
Psychiatry - diagnoses chronic mental illnesses often within 15 minutes of first meeting, judging purely off of physical behavior (no brain tests or scans ever) often disregarding the substance of what someone is saying they feel like for their tone, facial expression, body language etc. and then prescribing them "medicines" that are not only poorly pharmacologically (MOA) understood but, the targeted illness has never been proven to even exist in the first place and is based purely on pseudoscience. Such as the theory that excess dopamine causes schizophrenia; not only has that been proven to be more and more false every day, but we don't even know for sure what the function of dopamine is! So not only do they not know what they are treating or how to treat it, but they can't even prove if you have the illness that they don't understand or know how to treat, because it probably doesn't exist in such a concrete, fixable fashion. Hurts to think about doesn't it?

It's not hard to believe this is the same industry responsible for the ice pick lobotomy (shoving ice picks into the eye sockets to damage the frontal lobes with no anesthesia) used for any and every mental illness just less than 70 years ago.
Psychiatric institutions were overcrowded and underfunded. Sternburg writes, "Lobotomy kept costs down; the upkeep of an insane patient cost the state $35,000 a year while a lobotomy cost $250, after which the patient could be discharged."

I just can't help but wonder when, if ever, a human life will be valued more than some arbitrary amount of currency that is backed by nothing more than the corrupt government that benefits from it.

10/10

 

[DepressionsAHo]

Dysthymia otherwise known as persistent depressive disorder (diagnosed as a kid) (I think its major depressive disorder but who knows) PTSD (present with my reaction to aggressive situations with men specifically) and OCD.
add chronic pain to that mix as well
Self diagnosed with autism. Mum thinks I have it too.
Doctors suspected narcissism but I DO NOT believe that whatsoever being that I think I'm a piece of utter shit
Got chronic pain at 22
Lucky me.
Oh. And ADHD
My brain is fun

 

[C.Darko]

Depression and Borderline. And Undifferentiated Schizophrenia because I had a Psychotic break where I became extremley Delusion. Thought I was Christ, Thought I was going to be killed by a Drug Cartel or end up on Al-Jazeera. They put me on Olanzapine but I haven't takin it in 2 months my symptoms never came back and I feel normal. I honestly think it wad just cravking from being under pressure of Divorce and being kicked out of the military/not being able to see my Baby.

 

[Ame]

I don't have any physical ailments or disabilities worth noting but I have been formally diagnosed by psychiatrists with the following psychiatric conditions:

• Major Depressive Disorder [ Variable. Seasonal Affective Disorder in the winter months makes for a nice accompaniment. ]
• Generalised Anxiety Disorder & Social Anxiety Disorder
• Anorexia Nervosa - Restrictive Sub-Type [ Currently in a quasi-state of partial "remission"...I still meet all of the Dx criteria but I am stable??? ]
• Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder [ A lot of the above can be attributed to this I think. ]

Self diagnosed with a room temperature IQ.

I have undergone years worth of treatments for these conditions but my state remains unbearable. Those resources would have been much better spent on those who would have made something out of it.

[notjustyetagain]

did. some docs thought it was schizophrenia, others ptsd. it's funny, present identically to two different doctors and you'll get three different diagnoses. the whole enterprise of psychiatry leaves me dizzied.

 

[passenger27]

Bipolar 1, agoraphobia, panic disorder, PTSD, & "personality disorders." Dunno which kind only God & my psychiatrist knows.

Been in therapy for years, psychiatrists for years, meds for years, disabiity for years... & nothing's helped at all. My shrink said 3% of mental patients don't respond to any kind of therapy. Meh. I guess maybe that's me I'm like Charlie Brown & Peter Parker rolled into one it would be my luck.
