So hi, I was diagnosed with MDD two years and a half ago and since then almost every therapist I've gone to has said something among the lines of: "Schizoid-avoidant personality" but none of them has formerly diagnosed me with anything other than depression.
However, I've since read a lot about it and I'm pretty sure I have AvPD but I'm not sure if having a formal diagnosis would be any help, what are your thoughts on it? Also, I have a similar problem with Asperger's/Autism spectrum, this is not the proper board for this but may as well say it |

Hello Ms Tivruski: I don't think there is a lot I can offer with regard to your concern. However I noticed this is your first post here on PC. So... welcome to Psych Central.
 Here's a link to the depression forum here on PC:https://psychcentralforums.com/depression/ And then here are links to 4 articles, from Psych Central's archives, on the subject of AvPD: Avoidant Personality Disorder Avoidant Personality Disorder Treatment 5 Steps to Tackling Avoidant Personality Disorder Does Childhood Emotional Neglect Cause Avoidant Personality Disorder? I hope you find PC to be of benefit.

If multiple Ts have brought it up it might be wise to work on the issue. It's not just going to go away if you ignore it or deny it. I don't know what the therapy is for that. For borderline so there's DBT and it a lot of hard work. Wether or not it's put down in black and white as a diganois doesn't matter as much as you deciding that it's a issue in your life and causing problems. If it is then work on it, don't try to deny it or like many other try to get a different diganois.

I was also reading in another thread in this forum where somebody said about not believing in the therapy stuff (or something similar) and being ''treatment resistant'' and how the psych takes on a different role (whether they know it or not  Interesting  I've recently been reading a book on ''CBT'', I find parts of it somewhat helpful, while other parts I find annoying/triggering. Maybe those annoying parts are where I need to analyze the bear more

That's twice now you have quoted something I've said with-in the last couple of weeks. .....But that quote only applies to people with AvPD as their core Diagnoses. __________________ Diagnosed: AvPD. It’s never alright. It comes and it goes. It’s always around, even when it don’t show. They say it gets better. well I guess that it might. But even when it’s better, it’s never alright. |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
