Were all of those diagnoses from one psychiatrist whom you continually saw? If not, then there can be discrepancy among psychiatrists because mental illnesses can be difficult to assess accurately. In other fields of medicine, results diagnostic imaging and various tests are used alongside patient history and current symptoms to form a diagnosis. In psychiatry though, these tests are not possible and it's not possible to isolate a part of your body to examine in detail.
