I was misdiagnosed with anxiety and depression for about 15 years. All I focused on were panic attacks. If meds helped the panic attacks, I considered myself doing very well.
I never stopped to realize the meds weren't doing anything for the mood swings, the inability to concentrate, the impulsiveness....I never made a connection.
