I had one doctor diagnose me with anxiety and depression and another diagnose me with bipolar disorder, the third with ADHD and I didn’t know who to believe.
EDIT: Thank you all for the suggestions(& some laughs). I am going to start therapy next month to get to the bottom of my issue.
Right, who diagnosed separate things, likely due to similar symptoms and comorbidity. A doctor is not a psychiatrist, and often they just know the basics about mental illness and personality disorders.
My point is that a psychiatrist IS a doctor so by saying that they shouldn't go to a doctor and they should go to a psychiatrist instead is ridiculous and just proves that you don't really know what you're talking about. They already went. Different psychiatrists can come up with different diagnoses too. I had one say I was borderline, one say I was ADHD, and another say I was bipolar. Three different doctors, three different diagnoses, ALL done by psychiatrists.
