Cheer up.! Don't take it seriously. I have been to 2 PDocs and 3 therapists, have at least 2 related but separate conditions. But I still not given a specific diagnosis or a label.
They say it is likely anxiety and depression, but there are some OCD like symptoms too, and when I take an Asperger test, the results just scare me.
A label is really not that important if your conditions are well managed. An official diagnosis can be helpful if you are getting insurance benefits. But still, if you want to know, a doctor is supposed to provide you with information about what you are going through.
I have been taking more than one type of antidepressants together at times, along with a tranquilizer and sedative during various times of the day to manage all the conditions and make life livable. Personally, I would rather not like a label. I hate it when my therapist would mention the word depression when working with me, since it is a label I dislike. But what to do, it is something commonly associated with anxiety.
But I believe that one has a right to know about their medical diagnosis. Why wouldn't you see a PDoc..
