I kind of wish doctors could just say we all have "mental illness" and then just treat the symptoms. That's pretty much what they do anyway (treat the symptoms). So, don't let yourself get worried about the label. I have 3 labels on me and I sometimes worry I'll have another one thrown on me, too. Don't let yourself get sucked into the stigma of mental illness. You're going to get better treatment now, so try to reassure yourself with that. ((HUGS))
