wow. i think it depends on where you get treatment, too. im at a clinic. they do lots of injections there (eek!), but...for a lot of non-psych reasons, I've been spared that. so....my label has bounced from bipolar I, the kind that = no antidepressants, ever...

to 'high functioning' schizoaffective, manic type...anxiety disorder with a side order of hyper-vigilance; prozac to the rescue.

at -this- place, if it wasn't for my family, I'd be labeled 'schizophrenic, too smart' and probably find myself on injections with a thorazine booster or something ridiculous like that...I've seen it happen.

i dunno. a former shrink swears up and down im 'schizophrenic, too smart', which...makes me scared of shrinks. true story.
