I am so happy to be seen so quickly as he had a cancellation. She did not see any reason to doubt my old pdoc's release of bipolar disorder. Yeayyyy.
My diagnoses are (and I believe that this T is correct) are:
MDD
GAD
ADHD (Predominately Hyperactive-Impulsive Type)
Axis IV: social/emotional, daily living, grief and loss
Although I had a few criteria for BPD, I did not meet enough of the DSM-V criteria for an official dx.
She will inform my new T that we need to further explore PTSD as a dx.
This is a relief to me as now I have a T and one pdoc who agree with ADHD. I also have my old pdoc and a T who agree I do not have bipolar. The BPD was only getting started as a discussion but not diagnosed and this new T believes that it is out of the question.
Whew.....finally I feel that I know what I need to start working on and maybe now I will get better meds to deal with all of this!
Thanks guys for your concern and support. I will continue to be around and share.
