Question: How long did it take you to get correctly diagnosed and helped.?
took me a bit over 10 years to finally get diagnosed and on a treatment plan. since the 3rd grade ive had these mood swings. thats a long time to go without help besides a counselor haha. but i guess they did the right thing by waiting till i was at least 18 to make a proper diagnoses. so yeah, a bit over 10 years. how about you.?Health Question & Answer

Well hmmm if you count that I knew something was wrong with me as a kid (9) then 30 years. If you count when the doc's started messing with my brain and gave me every diagnosis (Borderline Personality Disorder, Manic Depressive, BiPolar 2) then 9 years. My doc who I am seeing right now (2 months) just nailed it in one session (ADHD & Bipolar1). I feel 100% now. Right meds and GREAT therapist. I looked at him one day and said the only reason I am trusting you is because you wear a bowtie :) He is an older gentleman that reminds me of the old time doctors.Health Question & Answer
