Yes my T is a clinical psychologist and he did perform testing when I first came to him. Major depression was the diagnoses and then ADD added about six weeks later.
In time, my lovely personality traits surfaced with him and then I began seeing a p-doc rather than my family doctor for meds. She indicated the OCPD somewhat...
I just read that ADD and major depression can be a misdiagnosis initially...I'm really wondering about all of this now. This is why therapy is so important. If this is true for me, it would never have surfaced if I wasn't in therapy until something bad happened.
I've been asked manic type questions by my p-doc. I guess I wasn't the best person to answer those questions. I really never thought I was any form of bipolar. I knew I had ups and downs but just thought that was major depression.
I feel stupid now.
