[QUOTE="in a daze, post: 610191, member: 15832"] My current therapist told me that the diagnosis didn't really matter. She said that the symptoms are what are really important and that a good psychiatrist will tailor the medications to the symptoms . . . not the diagnosis. (Quote) We have been through ADD, ODD, clinical depression, bi-polar, borderline, and bi-polar with borderline features. So many symptoms of those disorders overlap each other we will never be sure which one(s) is correct.

He has also gotten different diagnoses as time and his symptoms have evolved. Coma, it sounds like your son had neuropsychological testing. My son just had that and it showed also that he did NOT have bipolar disorder but rather major depression, anxiety disorder and a personality disorder. The personality disorder also showed up when he had the testing three years ago. I don't think he would be able to snow the psychologist much. The psychologist did say that he thought my son was malingering, or exaggerating, some of his responses as he was identifying with them. He is very self absorbed, and also was a psychology major, and I think that may have skewed some of his responses. [/QUOTE]
