I'm interested to know if people feel they have been treated differently because of their diagnosis and who treats them differently out of.
Family
Friends
Colleagues
Bosses
Mental health workers
Police
Hospital/ED staff

What were your different experiences and did the diagnosis improve people's ability to understand your struggles or stigmatise you?

I'm interested because I currently have a diagnosis of depression and anxiety but I have come into contact with police and hospital staff a number of times due to self harm and suicide attempts and my key worker is looking into getting me assessed for a personality disorder. I'm not sure if this would make things better or worse for me.
