My pdoc runs against the current of putting an alphabet soup behind a patient's name. My only psych dx is bipolar 1, even though I have some pretty severe anxiety/panic attacks and can be more than a little OCDish as well---he just calls it all part of my BP. That's fine with me, I don't want or need a bunch of labels to explain what's "wrong" with me.
