So I got re-evaluated yesterday

[Cappytaino]

long story short, the last psych evaluation I got was many years ago, and my school requested that I be re-evaluated by a different doctor that I'm seeing now. As of right now my diagnosis is severe Bipolar II, some pretty serious paranoia (which was confused for paranoid schizophrenia last time I was diagnosed, because I was young with lots of imaginary friends), severe anxiety, and mild OCD (reduced from severe through therapy). Have any of you ever been evaluated for anything before? How was your experience? I'm glad for these results because it means I can get on a medicine that will work for me instead of being on "blanket meds" that cover a wide variety of symptoms but don't treat any of them very well

I've never been evaluated for anything like that and don't plan to be.
I mean if there's a serious problem then sure get some tests done to try and help but apart from that I think the whole idea of it is stupid.
People just want to play the victim (not accusing you or anything I'm talking in general) and just need to have their every expression labeled and medicated.
I'm mostly talking about OCD, ADHD and the like, I mean knowing you have something like that doesn't mean stuff, you're still the same person, what ever happened to an energetic kid being an energetic kid, nowadays if your kid's energetic it's because he has turbo ADHD and you need to get him medicines and doctors and all this bullstuff.

the hardest thing to deal with is bipolar disorder for me because I have trouble with impulse control sometimes. If I want to punch the wall or someone or something I have a lot of difficulty not doing it. Also manic states suck because I have too much energy and cant sleep and I cant concentrate

im not entirely sure if ive ever been diagnosed with anything (i mean if i have i was never told), but i know my brother was diagnosed with severe schizophrenia amongst other things after his whole Self Delete/drug addiction rehab events


on the bright side for you you're at least getting medicine that works for your specific needs now, which is a-ok :)

More attention seeking I see
I'm sorry but, how many topics have you made like this?

I was never diagnosed, but its possible that I have very low-end Asperger's. Still possible I don't have it though, so no reason to waste time and money on it.

I'm sorry but I fail to see how this is attention seeking. The reason I have so many posts about mental health is because it puts me in and out of the hospital and different homes and I've been struggling with my own mind for my entire life. Am I not allowed to be happy for what could be a breakthrough in my treatment? Because I could finally be put on the right meds after over a decade of suffering from misdiagnosed or undiagnosed issues. I'm sorry to say it this way, but if you don't like me, I don't really care, and if you're incapable of ignoring me by yourself and I really am so incredibly distressing to you, I can help you set up the greasemonkey extension for chrome with a script to block my posts

Ive been through 4 hospitals and diagnosed with Disorganized Schizophrenia. I understand what your going through, since Ive seen plenty of bipolar people in my life. Atleast your symptoms are controlled and thats good.

I think I'm going on seroquil soon to control the most severe symptoms I have, I'm just afraid because I've heard it really puts you out

I take 300 Mg of Quetiapine (Seroquel) and trust me, during the first few weeks you tend to get tired alot but you soon adapt to it.

the meds I take for my ADD help me focus but stuff they slow me down and make me loose my appetite.

Don't people (specifically college students lol) use that medication for tests?
I hope those medicines won't have super crappy side effects that make your life even worse than the life without meds, haha.

Best of luck to you, OP.
