The only diagnosis that is consistent with each doctor is ADD and OCD, and this psychiatrist agrees with both of those as well- but dismisses the others.
Talking to everyone here has given me the courage to further persue this, thank you all  ! |
Those are similar to the DXs I've went through. As a kid, I was dxed ADHD, then as an adult in this order: Bipolar, Major Depression with Psychosis, Psychosis NOS, Schizoaffective, OCD. I got OCD taken off because it was wrong though, I think all that's left is schizoaffective. Anyway, I do have severe mood problems (both depression and mania) and psychotic episodes, so I think at least Bipolar is correct.
But I have those other issues too that medicine isn't helping, the social skills problems, intense interests, repetitive movements, and also ADHD-like things. But my pdoc doesn't agree. I hope someday they can indeed do tests on you to find out for sure. I don't have AS or Autism on my mom's side of the family at least, mental illness runs here, but I have no clue of my father's side.
