> whats your dx?
Therein lies the £64,OOO question. I was originally dxed as sz but sometime later put on lithium and bipolar or schizoaffective was put on blood test forms.In May 2002 sought more help from my local mh team because i was going through stressful period and was told 'government says help is to be prioratised to severely mentally ill' and that wasn't me.I then asked 'Isn't there bipolar or schizoaffective written down there?'' To which got reply 'no only dependent personality disorder'. This got me thinking as to why i had been on a mood stabiliser all those years seeing how treatment for DPD as far as i know is not meds eg mood stabiliser etc.
Some weeks later i had out patient appointment and asked SHO i saw re dx and she said 'All you need to know is it's a psychotic type disorder .'In other words has psychotic component.
On one hand they seem to be saying i don't have much of a problem but on the other hand..
I used to be ok about taking the meds before this but now I'm mixed up about it.
