[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 128023, member: 1550"] I learned not to trust doctors if it doesn't ring true. Doctors can be wrong about anything. My friend went to a doctor for a lump in her breast and he said it was "nothing." He even looked at her mammo and said "nothing." Two years later she went to somebody else. It is an aggressive form of breast cancer. If I went to a doctor with symptoms of depression so deep that I never wanted to wake up again and he told me I had ADHD, I'd move on. There are people out there who are more updated and can help. When I was thirteen, I was so scared of what was wrong with me, because I knew something bad was going on, that I looked up "mental illness" in the Encyclopedia (remember days before computers..lol)? I diagnosed myself years before I got the diagnosis which, at the time, was manic depression. However, now there is a school of thought that mood disorders are NOT all or nothing--bipolar or just depression. There are so many "in-betweeners" and I think that's me because I have had debilitating depression with a few hypomanic highs. My psychiatrist calls it Mood Disorder Spectrum, which I love. Essentially they are the same--moodswings that debilitate your functioning. My psychiatrist believes I had early onset. I do too. If it doesn't feel right, tell the doctor good-bye and find a better one. Good luck ;) [/QUOTE]
