The Brief Story of My Illnesses
I was pondering the other night about the issues that plague me. Where did they all come from? Where are they headed? I believe here is a simple background of my illnesses. It started off in the usual wa, for the diagnosis of Schizophrenia. I had to go through the mandated 6 months of diagnosis Schizophreniform psychosis. Then, after that it came down to Schizophrenia, Paranoid Type. After a year had passed, a need to have the diagnosis of OCD was there. Then, after that many years passed along, and i was soon to become diagnosed with bi-piolar I disorder too. Finally, recently after getting married, graduating college and others occured, I was then diagnosed (in addition) with anxiety and panic disorders. Well, due to having to deal with all this, I think this is enough to deal with for ,me and may purport to be enough for you to deal with too. Thx.--moah

Since I was first diagnosed, I have seen psychiatric \"diagnostic trends\", if you will, as well as with medications being prescribed. Nowadays, they prescribe seroquel like it was candy for just about any old symptom. I am not discounting the anguish related to diagnoses, for it has been a major cause of concern for me for the last twelve years. I think that each condition is unique.. and cannot be labelled categorically, and therefore each treatment is unique to the individual. Those were my impressions upon reading your text. I just joined dailystrength a moment ago, I hope that I have been helpful or at least had a neutral impact. I joined because I need support, yet I\'m scared of offending people by accident, part of the old reason I\'m here in the first place.. lol I take it in stride, with a smile, at this point. God bless,
