Finally got re-evaluated and I was right! I'm not bipolar!

It's kind of a relief. Why are misdiagnoses so stressful? On the other hand, it probably means I'm just schizophrenic.

This thread has no real purpose other than to show that it is possible for someone with ADHD to be misdiagnosed as bipolar. I guess.

What is your new DX?

Thanks for sharing Misdiagnosis is very common, its good you can cross this one off the list of ailments. Are they assessing you for anything else or is it ADHD with hallucinations? Goodluck, getting the right diagnosis means you will start to get the right treatment. I hope all goes well for you.

It went from schizoaffective to psychotic disorder NOS because I got new docs and got reevaluated. It's supposed to be temporary. I think they have to rule out epilepsy because a lot of my symptoms are consistent with temporal lobe seizures. But if not that, there's nothing left but schizophrenia...

The ADHD thing is only relevant because it accounts for the "hypomania" and mood swings, and because that's what I was diagnosed with as a kid for 7 years.
