This depends on the Dr!
I was having trouble in a military school (not with the actual school part) so my instructor "made" me see the flight surgeon. He diagnosed me with generalized anxiety disorder and threw me on antidepressants. I was on and off antidepressants for years and drinking a lot.
Then I switched locations and was diagnosed as having depression with borderline traits, more antidepressants.
Got a DUI and finally was allowed to see an actual pdoc. She never told me her dx, I found out when I bacame a civilian by reading my file. (I don't recommend that.) She had me down as borderline. I experienced a lot of relief with the lamictal I was given (FINALLY!)
For my disability I am bipolar.
My PA, that I have now, I speculate says bipolar, but she hardly knows me.
I suspect comorbity of BPD and bipolar, but I am not dr., yet.
So how do I feel about it? Rather confused!
