I have no current co-morbitities, but have.
In the past, I also had a formal diagnosis of alcohol dependence/abuse, having gone to rehab. GAD (generalized anxiety) showed up on records, at times. Though I wasn't formally diagnosed with agoraphobia, I had a rather tough bout for a little over a year, several years back, barely leaving my house. I got past it. I've also experienced maladaptive daydreaming that eventually passed. The latter is not in the DSM-5, but was a serious issue. Some periods I experienced depersonalization and derealization. Again, not permanent. Recovery and coping skills helped.
I had a neurologist formally diagnose me with Simple Partial Seizures, a form of focal seizures (epilepsy). That period is a bit of a mystery. Those "symptoms" also eventually went away, but I continue to take two antiepileptics. There were never convulsions, as in other types of seizures. Other weird stuff that resembled psych issues. Part of that time I experienced months of musical hallucinations (and similar). Again, they passed after some months. Around that period I also developed migraine headaches for the first time. They transitioned to "silent migraines" which included sensory hallucinations and accompanying panic attacks. Again, eventually faded away.
