I was thrilled with the dx- it finally explained my entire life! I have had bouts of eating disorders, depression, addiction, etc since I was 13. I have been on anti-depressants most of my adult life (I'm 38) and they didn't help me much. The dx has helped me realize that while I still need to be held accountable for my actions, that there really is something chemically wrong with my brain and that I'm not just a bad person.
