Generally does your condition worsen if gone untreated?

I don't think I could say with any accuracy. Some people probably get better on their own without treatment, just the time alone makes things better. Some people probably get worse as their symptoms are untreated. Some people probably stay about the same. I think it depends on the condition, I think it depends on the individual, I think it depends on a lot of factors like what kind of support (professional or not professional) that the person has in their life. For me, my condition has worsened while being treated, but would it have worsened anyway? I don't know. I do feel more stable now that I'm on a different medication regime and stuff like that but who is to say I would have been different not treated with medication and therapy for all these years.


If you are concerned about your condition, seek treatment. HUGS if wanted, Kit

Recently I started with a phycologists on top of psychiatry. The therapy from the doctor has been going real well. He is licensed and qualified to treat my diagnosis which is a big relief.
