I think im @#%)(%#@

Answer 1

Yes, get another opinion and don't disclose the previous diagnosis. See what the new doctors come up with.
That seems like a lot of stuff to be wrong with one person. Maybe their right ,maybe their wrong. What do you think,independent of
the doctors.

Good luck.

Answer 2

I'd go with schizoaffective disorder.That actually means having characteristics of both bipolar and schizophrenia.My husband had all the symptoms of both for years and got diagnosed same as you.Its really hard to put a label on it sometimes.A good Doctor will tell you sometimes it is better to treat the symptoms and forget about labeling it.My guy takes clozaril,lythium and wellbutrin.He has been totally stable for 7 years.Don't give up on finding help.Keep searching for the doctor who you are comfortable with.That is half the battle.Find one who will listen to your opinions,fears,questions,etc....Good luck

Answer 3

A psychiatric diagnoses like an anus, everybody has one. Psychiatrists are fine for prescribing medications but that about all. Also remember that payment rates for these "professionals" are sometimes based upon the diagnosis. In New Jersey where I worked for a number of years the major insurance companies paid more for schizophrenia than they did for OCD for example.

Answer 4

Psychiatrists and psychologists diagnose based upon a checklist of things, and many symptoms of different mental illnesses are the same. The only way to really find out is to go on and off medications that target that specific mental illness. Once you've balanced out, you've now found your illness. Good luck. I know it can be super frustrating.

Answer 5

You know what....screw them, I think it's there job to think were the ones that have a problem....You are only what they say you are....Think about it, once they say it's this...you look up the side affects and start to have them, pray about it and leave it alone...and if you think about it...we all have some ocd in us...if you don't think you do....wait until you finish reading this...I went to the Olive Garden, I had to use the bathroom really bad, now, I was not the only one in the bathroom, one of the waitress were in the bathroom with me. I went to the bathroom came out washed my hands and put my antibacterial gel on my hands, (GERMS) now this waitress comes out of the bathroom, grunting and groaning and smelling the bathroom up...did not wash her hands and just happened to be going in my direction..I look up, and what do you know, She is putting 4 sets of silverware on the table, and on the napkin, of my spoon, because the silver wear is wrapped in the napkin, sh_t was on my napkin....now how would you feel.....?Girl, screw them, you're OK it's these nasty, and crazy people out here.

Answer 6

have you considered seeing a neuro-psychiatrist? they seem to be good at flushing out the neurological and psychiatritic causes People I know say that the diagnosis is ususally a better one and the treatments work better.

Answer 7

Dont even listen to them, ive gotten several different diagnosises myself, some similar to yours. But by the third or fourth one they just gave up and sent me to the hospital

Answer 8

Thats crazy

Answer 9

trust me 20 psycho psychiatrist can also be wrong... they only confuse the patients with lengthy names of diseases
try a homeopath...he might just prove to be better
their motto is .....if you cant convince them confuse them
