Over the years, I've gotten an assortment of diagnoses. The process is far, far from scientific. One pdoc, who ran a partial hospitalization program I went to, developed a dislike of me. She then said my main probkem was Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Another pdoc said I had Bipolar Disorder.

Most, over the years said I had dysthymia. The DSM has dropped that as a disorder. One pdoc said I had Atypical Depression. That actually rang true to me.

I believe that mood disorders are generally driven by some personality disorder.

I no longer want Ativan, as I've come out of that horrid anxiety.
