In reply to Different Dr.- Different psychological disorder?, posted by kelly on December 21, 1999, at 1:07:47
Confusing, isn't it Kelly? Each doc I've seen has a different diagnosis too. Similar, but different. In my opinion all of these disorders, I think, are in the same family. The boundary lines between them are not always clearcut. Not often black and white. Lots of grey areas and overlap. Not only is diagnosis tricky sometimes, but treatment is too. It really seems like an art more than a science. I guess the silver lining is that most of the available drugs have multiple uses for multiple disorders. There is a lot of overlap in what a particular drug can treat. Nevertheless, I hear ya, it is confusing to me too. I've come to trust my own gut instinct more than the doctors' varying opinions.
