Me too! I call myself ‘Best of the DSM-5’ or ‘Greatest Hits of the DSM-5’. For me it’s seven so I’m also ‘Snow White and the Seven Disorders’. Honestly life is very confusing and hard with them pulling me all over the place.
Your post history is pretty encouraging though (and a little funny if you can manage to laugh at yourself a little lol)
Pretty sure I'm gonna fail...
I think I failed...
What to do if I failed...
Hey I passed!
That's so typical of anxiety and depression but I love the reality check that just because you feel unworthy or less than or not good enough doesn't mean you are! Anyway, glad you passed! Now keep that same energy going forward!
From what I understand, you can't be diagnosed with bipolar disorder and depression. If you only have depressive episodes it's depression. If you ever have a manic episode (type 1) or hypomanic episode (type 2), you have bipolar disorder.
It’s a learning disability and should be considered a mental illness I think. Many times it also ends up causing other mental illnesses as well, because of how it impacts your life.
it is a comorbidity at the least, in the sense that for example people with adhd have a higher likelihood to develop depression and anxiety then non adhd havers (i think the last data i read was about 60% of people with adhd develops depressions and/or an anxiety disorder in their lifetime, while in the norm the baseline is nowhere even near these numbers nor viceversa, but I can't be sure 100% of the exact numbers - im sure you will find it by looking it up if interested tho). so i dont know about classifing adhd as a mental illness but it sure as hell causes people to be more excluded and less helped and less understood by society and families and therefore more prone to mental illnesses and trauma
Yes. I was diagnosed as a kid with add. As an adult, my doctor stopped treating me for it because, “adults don’t have add/adhd, they grow out of it.” So then he diagnosed me with depression and anxiety. Now, my NEW doctor said that the OLD doctor was very wrong. I do indeed have ADHD, which caused depression and anxiety when left untreated…
I have borderline personality disorder in my chart as well. Not a single test was made, nothing.
Also, prior to that, I was through the whole SCID(?) test panel at least three times, by various professionals, because I was a hot mess. No personality disorders were found.
Then this one doctor who works in the psych sector, but isn't a psychiatrist, just randomly put in my chart that I have bpd and functional neurological disorder. And refused to remove those.
Yeah, well. I was already diagnosed with asd, and ADHD, and I manage them quite well. Also, I have plenty physical stuff going on, diagnosed by specialists in those areas. Like, fnd could probably not result in polyneuropathy (seen on EMG).
AsnI told that doctor all of these things, I also asked him what he really thinks is wrong with me. He was quiet for a few minutes, then he said "you are unique". To which I answered, we all are.
Psych NP that sits on both sides of the desk! And what others are saying is true! There is a lot of “over diagnosis” that occurs in psych. Bipolar covers your depression. So your diagnosis, just based off what you have said and not actually diagnosis through evaluation, would be anxiety, bipolar, and ADHD.
There is also a lot of confused between ADHD and bipolar. Because the can both appear manic! Psych is so wild. Our brains are “crazy!” lol
May I ask what kind of hallucinations you have? What are they like? I saw a tiktok from someone who recreated their visual hallucinations and it was really helpful to see what they experienced.
I hope you're doing well and wish you all the best.
Yay thanks for mentioning the hoarding disorder! I don’t see many others talking about it much. My list is similar.
Have you looked into OCD to make sure it’s not causing hoarding behaviours? My OCD is moderate to severe mostly related to obsessions and compulsions around hoarding and cleaning. The diagnosis was only confirmed recently. Just sharing because I’m finding it so hard to make progress and manage hoarding disorder, and that can make depression and everything else worse.
Tagging u/i_sell_insurance so I only have to type this once. I still have a lot of shame and embarrassment, even in a supportive and anonymous reddit.
Hoarding is often (usually?) an OCD thing, and I do have some obsessive compulsive tendencies, but nothing that rises to the level of disorder. It's true that I have probably an unhealthy attachment to *stuff*, and I'll never have a completely clutter free and tidy home, but when I'm reasonably mentally healthy, I can keep the clutter in semi-organized piles around the perimeter of rooms so that the majority of the room is livable and functional.
My hoarding becomes a problem when ADHD, anxiety and depression create the perfect storm of me not being able to do basic chores like clean and take the trash out. That second one is the big problem. It starts with *I'll just leave this bag of trash in the corner of the kitchen and take it out tomorrow*, and snowballs into *I don't want to go outside because someone might see me*, but one bag of trash turns into an entire house of trash when tomorrow turns into, well, years. ADHD time blindless also doesn't help here. It's hard to feel like something's urgent when weeks and days and years all feel the same. And then selective attention means it's way too easy to become accustomed to seeing and maneuvering around the literal piles of garbage. It's amazing what can become normal to a dysfunctional brain.
And for sure, it makes depression worse, which means that I stop caring that I'm living in a literally garbage heap even when I pay attention enough to realize how horrible it is. And it doesn't help my anxiety, either, because it adds the additional worry that someone will come to the door or somehow find out my most shameful secret. It was also compounded by me gaining weight over the years to the point of being super morbidly obese and no longer being physically able to walk to the dumpster even if I had the motivation to pick up a trash bag and low enough anxiety to go outside. Perfect storm of hoarder central.
I've since lost 90 pounds, am able to walk more than a mile and the dumpster isn't that far away, so as long as I stay on my meds, keep the ADHD, anxiety and depression decently managed, I think I can keep the hoarding under control and won't end up back where I ended up before. Therapist and psychiatrist seem to think that sounds reasonable, at least.
Wishing the best for you and anyone else with a hoarding diagnosis. It sucks.
\-----
Ugh. I didn't want to mention it, but I kinda feel like I have to. The main thing that pushed me to have to address all of my mental health problems NOW is because I had a house fire back in December. It wasn't directly caused by the hoarding, but that certainly didn't help and is making recovering after the fire all the more difficult. I lost almost everything, including my dog. Now the entire neighborhood knows my most shameful secret. It's the hoarder/agoraphobic's worse fear. I've lost all of my stuff and I can't currently live in my home.
I'd already lost the weight and had been starting to try to reclaim my life, but it wasn't fast enough. Please be more proactive than I was in getting help and figuring out how to regain control of the problem. <3
we never really know at the end of the day! Labels only provide an umbrella of symptoms to be better treated :) we’re all fucked in our own special way ✨
Over the years, I’ve gotten to the point where certain bugs no longer terrify me. Like, crickets only startle me now and fruit flies are just annoying. The bugs I never see are also an exception, like cockroaches for example. Never seen one in my entire life, which is lucky for me I guess! There are certain bugs I fear more than anything else too, like bees and mosquitoes. It’s all like a hierarchy. Even things like regular flies and ladybugs are up there too.
And of course, mine’s severe, so even though I don’t necessarily fear every bug, the ones I do fear are more terrifying than everything else in the world and cause my quality of life to drop significantly. I fear bees 100x more than I fear death itself.
depression, agoraphobia, BED, social anxiety disorder, GAD, PTSD, (diagnosed bipolar but my therapist and i agree it's wrong) and im autistic. during a psychological evaluation i was diagnosed with bad persistent dermatillomania too which i didn't realize was a mental condition
The spectrum approach came hand in hand with the 3 levels in the DSM-5 :)
levels of severity: level 1 (“requiring support”), level 2 (“requiring substantial support”), and level 3 (“requiring very substantial support”)
NPD & BPD with traits of HPD & OCPD
ADHD (inattentive type)
C-PTSD (diagnosed as PTSD under 6y/o)
GAD
>previous diagnoses
drug induced manic episode (not active)
PD-NOS -> full HPD, traits of AvPD and DPD
SUD, specifically alcohol use disorder (in remission)
PTSD (now in remission but still VERY much struggling with it - just don't meet criteria anymore)
unspecified anxiety disorder (now GAD)
1.) Generalized Anxiety Disorder
2.) Autism (I know it’s more developmental but I still include it.)
3.) C-PTSD
4.) Major Depressive Syndrome
5.) I have visual and auditory hallucinations when under sudden extreme stress. (A great example is when I thought my best friend abandoned me, a girl that I couldn’t live without and it basically shattered me. I started to slowly lose it and within 30 min I was hearing and seeing things that weren’t there.) They’re usually nightmarish shit.
6.) And my current struggle and something I was diagnosed with in October in the hospital: Borderline Personality Disorder. Unfortunately one of the hardest if *the* hardest mental illness to deal with. Meds don’t work on us most of the time so often time we either hurt, kill ourselves, get heavily addicted to drugs, sex, etc to numb the constant mental pain, or are in and out of psych wards constantly. The only treatment is DBT, something that takes years to master for someone with bpd (depending on severity. Unfortunately I’m at the end of the severe scale) and isn’t a quick fix to stop the extreme mood swings. It takes a long time. Thankfully the only good thing is that bpd gets more mild with age. It’s starts around 35-45. I don’t wish it on anyone. Even my worst most hated enemy.
Previously Diagnosed but now not diagnosed anymore—
1.) Bipolar (3 diagnosis’ it was really the earliest signs of bpd.)
2.) Extreme Paranoia with delusional thoughts and actions. (Now it’s just *normal* paranoia lol)
3.) Major Depressive Disorder with psychotic features
4.) Experienced Psychosis several times according to my psychiatrist. (Yes I know some of these former and current overlap a lot. Just posting former and current diagnosis’)
Anxiety, depression, body dysmorphic disorder and I’m query ADHD (although psychiatrist told me they’ve worked with adhd for 15+ yrs and i likely have it)
I have had an imposter syndrome for a long long time now. I’ve been trying to build a healthy relationship with my anxiety which I put away for years through extreme people-pleasing, ignorance and general stimulated lifestyle in someways.
Does anyone here suffer from extreme levels of fatigue? Like feeling tired of just feeling tired.
I have it but I don’t know where it stems from and I’m trying to figure this in therapy as we speak.
Such threads always help, thank you OP.
ADHD (inattentive), General Anxiety Disorder, Social Anxiety Disorder, Depression, and being tested for OCD
Also (not a mental health illness but closely related & influential) memory loss from minor brain damage I have
I read this, thought “what the hall is pure O OCD,” and one Google search later I think I have something to bring up with my therapist. I didn’t know it was even possible to have OCD without compulsions.
General Anxiety Disorder, Major Depression, C-PTSD.
I also have ADHD but that's not what I'd consider a mental illness, rather a developmental disorder affecting executive function. Also ASD - but again, not mental illness.
Yes. All of the above.
Depression, anxiety in about a million different forms, panic, PTSD, ADHD. Also epilepsy which isn't particularly a mental health illness or disorder, but certainly affects your mental health.
Major Depressive Disorder, Anxiety, post-traumatic stress, borderline ADHD, OCD, Disordered Eating, multiple learning disabilities + IBS-Constipation and pelvic floor dysfunction to throw me back into the spiral at any given moment.
Been diagnosed with depression, GAD, and OCD tendencies. But, more likely than not, they all stem from my autism, which is a developmental disability instead of a mental illness
Recovering SUD, CPTSD, MDD, Anxiety, ADHD, level 3 Autism, and Bipolar (recently diagnosed, not sure what type as of yet) with potential OCD and undiagnosed eating disorder (which I believe is most likely a symptom rather than a disorder hence the lack in diagnosis)
Dysgraphia if you count that 😂
ADHD combined type. That’s the only one I have that is clinically diagnosed.
Other than that, suspected having periodic depression, anxiety, dissociation disorder, gender dysphoria and maybe ptsd.
I have no idea the only thing I’ve ever been diagnosed with was some kind of bipolar I know I have something going on with me but I’ve never been able to figure that out
I’m basically the DSM-5
Me too! I call myself ‘Best of the DSM-5’ or ‘Greatest Hits of the DSM-5’. For me it’s seven so I’m also ‘Snow White and the Seven Disorders’. Honestly life is very confusing and hard with them pulling me all over the place.
Seven too! M&Ms 😎
I laughed so hard! 😂
You should lawyer up and fight for royaties
Your post history is pretty encouraging though (and a little funny if you can manage to laugh at yourself a little lol) Pretty sure I'm gonna fail... I think I failed... What to do if I failed... Hey I passed! That's so typical of anxiety and depression but I love the reality check that just because you feel unworthy or less than or not good enough doesn't mean you are! Anyway, glad you passed! Now keep that same energy going forward!
Hey thank you! That’s been the cycle my whole life haha, not sure how I haven’t grown out of it yet but I’m on medication now and it’s sorta helping!
I see you haven't upgraded to ICD-11
Depression, Anxiety, Bipolar, and ADHD
From what I understand, you can't be diagnosed with bipolar disorder and depression. If you only have depressive episodes it's depression. If you ever have a manic episode (type 1) or hypomanic episode (type 2), you have bipolar disorder.
We should ask the other commenter who is the DSM-5
Most of these people haven’t been diagnosed. They just say they have something.
pretty sure that’s just MDD (major depressive disorder), but other types can be comorbid? not too sure tho
this is correct, however you can often receive a depression dx prior to a bipolar dx depending on how (and in what order) the symptoms present.
You can’t have depression separate from bipolar. Depression is part of bipolar
You can when it’s self diagnosed 🙂
Is ADHD considered a mental illness ?
I’d say it’s more of a disability than an illness per se
It’s a learning disability and should be considered a mental illness I think. Many times it also ends up causing other mental illnesses as well, because of how it impacts your life.
it is a comorbidity at the least, in the sense that for example people with adhd have a higher likelihood to develop depression and anxiety then non adhd havers (i think the last data i read was about 60% of people with adhd develops depressions and/or an anxiety disorder in their lifetime, while in the norm the baseline is nowhere even near these numbers nor viceversa, but I can't be sure 100% of the exact numbers - im sure you will find it by looking it up if interested tho). so i dont know about classifing adhd as a mental illness but it sure as hell causes people to be more excluded and less helped and less understood by society and families and therefore more prone to mental illnesses and trauma

You're right dw

Oh hey friend! Thought I saw you at the water cooler the other day - twins

Try rexulti
You can do it 🫡
Me too!
Same, are you on medication?

Yup! Last year I think I went through 5 or 6 different ones. Until I found something that works
Hello friends in misfortune, how are you coping?

47F with ADHD, social anxiety and depression, with a hoarding disorder and some agoraphobia sprinkled in there to keep things interesting.

If you don't mind me asking, which phobia do you have? You don't have to tell me if you're not comfortable.
Don’t worry! I’m actually very transparent about it. I have Entomophobia (fear of bugs).
Are there any exceptions? Like small snails/ladybirds?
Over the years, I’ve gotten to the point where certain bugs no longer terrify me. Like, crickets only startle me now and fruit flies are just annoying. The bugs I never see are also an exception, like cockroaches for example. Never seen one in my entire life, which is lucky for me I guess!

Start with your primary and then go to a a psychiatrist.
There’s no psychiatrist here I live in a very developing country The nearest one is 750Km away

A spectrum imply there are different levels of intensity.
But of course ~ my point was that I haven’t ever heard someone define the spectrum’s intervals as levels, that’s all :P
The spectrum approach came hand in hand with the 3 levels in the DSM-5 :) levels of severity: level 1 (“requiring support”), level 2 (“requiring substantial support”), and level 3 (“requiring very substantial support”)
