Basically what happens if the professional doesnot have other records and doesn't do psyychological testing they go on the symptoms that they witness you experiencing. They probably saw you're self injury scars and some anxiety and so they knew you were saying you have this disorder and that one but no records to back it up at that moment so they lopped all the symptoms into the general Borderline personality disorder catagory. anyone that does a comprehensive psychological evaluation comes up with at the least Borderline because the tests don't test for normal behavior patterns they test for the abnormal. Then NOS was put on aniety probably because they could not tell which your present at that moment anxiety was coming from your PTSD and other mental problems or from being so physically ill. so they again loppped it all together.

Your best defence against this happening again is to fill out a form. Here its called Declaration for Mental Health Treatment. On the form is my diagnosis- both physical and mental, contact information to my therapy agency, my primary physician, my designated representative should I be unable due to physical or mental illness to make my own decisions, my medication allergies, and any treatment plans that I have for each of my physical and mental health diagnosises. I carry this with me at ALL times, my primary physican. therapist and therapy agency and my representative all have copies.

Now no matter what the problem is if I land in the hospital the hospital has to treeat me according to this paper for it is legal and binding and if they have other treatment options then what I have consented to in the paper and unable to give my consent they have no choice but to contact my representative.

Anyway long story short with this paper they will have all they need for knowing and verifying my diagnosises and wont be pitching blind in treating me and writing down diagnosises and so on that are not me.
