What are the chances of being misdiagnosised or treated for an illenese I never had to begin with? In my first or second year of college I began seeking the advise of a psychologist trainee on my JC campus. She was the first I ever saw to that date and about 12 or 13 years later and a few psychiarists later I am on three continues meds and a doctor visit a week. My point is not really to place doubt on my illnese as I've been calling it, but rather what would it have been like to never take meds during my adult life since they have been there for that entire time 12 years ago I guess. I sometimes question if I was alright to go through life without any psychological treatment, I have no history nor does anyone in my family what are the chances of schizophrenaform, schizophrenia, depression, anxiety disorder, bipolar disorder, my diagnosis is not really pinned down and though I have some neglet to care to find or do so, too many youthful years struggling to find any wavering answers. Well to all those who have a problem like the above metioned I really have felt alone, not that my disorder or whatever I am called is just me but that it has felt that way all the way.

IMO, each one of the disorders has a very strong up side to it, as in upper than normal. It's too bad the label forgets that. How do they know it is manic depressive, or bi-polar? Why can't it be gifted psychosis, or visionary repression? Surely there are better labels that wouldn't make us all feel so "labelled". I am like you, in that I don't really feel sure about the label, though I do know the struggle.
