I have been dealing with a lot of symptoms and in the past was diagnosed with Bipolar 1 disorder which I got evaluated again and this diagnosis was rediagnosed as PTSD and ADHD. As it turns out I have been diagnosed with a definite case of Hashimotos which can cause symptoms of Bipolar Disorder and is the most likely cause of my depression that i have had the majority of my life. I think I am just overwhelmed with finally having some answers that I decided to post this. Thanks for listening.

wow, what a roller coaster ride to get there!

I googled it, and it sounds like it can be treated rather effectively. Hope your symptoms go away after you get started on a good treatment program!

Well, to find a cause for depression is a good thing....At least it can be treated....and at least you know HOW to treat your depression. I wish the very best for you, charlie. I'm so glad you are getting taken care of now.

It must be a relief to have an actual diagnosis. It's got to be frustrating not knowing what's going on.
Hope you get to feeling better soon!!!!!!
Hugs!!
