My first diagnosises was MDD but it did quite fit everything in the box. They added PTSD but still ....so they changed the MDD to BP, but continued to prescribe antidepressants, my first SH didn't start till I was 29 or 30. Then when I would quit the drugs the SH stopped. Amazing how long it took to catch on to the connection between SH and the drugs. I do wonder if DBT would have helped the awareness sooner? I was never considered a canadate for DBT but what I've read about it makes me wonder if it would have helped?
