My pdoc and T told me they feel they have misdiagnoses me. After working with me for ten month they feel like I fall under the category of giftedness and I am not severely bipolar. They originally diagnosed me as having a severe bipolar 1 disorder. They told me misdiagnosis is common especially when a gifted child has been abused. I was a victim of child abuse and I experience PTSD as a result. They want me to continue taking the same medication because of my struggle with anxiety and depression. It is all very confusing. It is strange that being gifted is a diagnosis that needs treatment. Any how they have told me they are going to approach my therapy in a completely different way and they have apologized for the misdiagnosis.
