Hey Crystalrose,

You know..
as I recall (I could be wrong), diagnoses do NOT tell much about the patient itself.
I think it mostly serves for insurance reasons, so that insurance
companies know what to cover for and how much.

In the end, what is really important is the treatment itself.
Which SHOULD be determined by the patient's problematics.
I wouldn't rely too much on the diagnoses itself, it does happen
that T's make wrong diagnoses, I've had several wrong diagnoses
myself, but the treatment I got was more specific to my personal
problems.

If you have bi-polar symtoms at the least, they will most likely
find treatments that fit with the symptoms itself.

In the end, diagnoses serve mostly for insurance purposes
and to (this sounds crappy but) categorise or label your
general problems.

I do understand that once the diagnoses is made, only then can T's
actually start helping you. So I hope they do make the diagnoses
quickly so that you wont have to wait too long.

Hang in there, things will start happening for you for sure.
Keep strong ok?
