How many psychiatric comorbidities do you have?

Post Reply New Topic

Hard to say. I answered 1, because I think all my issues are due to either autism or PTSD, but I do qualify for some other diagnoses at times. I have been clinically depressed in the past. And there are a number of diagnoses that can be made for characteristics that could be seen as just part of autism, such as sensory processing disorder.

Well, it's complicated. My other stuff have been so much more overpowering, that I haven't really had the time to focus on my gender issues. Now, for the first time, the asperger, add and depression are so stable that I can focus on this. I'm hopefully going to a therapist at my autism center to discuss this in a few weeks (that is, if the social services will pay for it)

GAD; was diagnosed with depression in '09 but haven't given it any thought since. I've also endured OCD for as long as I can remember but it's not diagnosed so I didn't count it.

Yeah, I disagree with the bipolar diagnosis and believe it to be just depression, but I have been "officially" diagnosed with both anyhow. Then again, I even had a doctor think I might be schizophrenic... I kinda think the whole diagnosis process is just a guessing game they play until they find a combination that seems like it might fit what they see.

ADD, ODD, depression, OCD, hallucinations (but i know they aren't real most of the time)

how can you have ADD and OCD at the same time? I can see how that can make a person have ODD. oppositional defiant disorder

you are proud when you own it and ashamed when you can't control it

Voted 1 but I meant to vote 2. They are OCD and depression.

Whatever. I've never felt proud/ashamed of having AS.

Well I asume that there is a HUGE difference between being proud of being able to achive things in life eventhough you have a dissability (or because you are disabled) OR being proud of the disability...!
Just wanted to point this out.

That's sure.

I have: (age diagnosed)

OCD (4)
ADHD (6)
Dyscalculia (11)
Tourettes (-)

I'm thinking of going to a doctor (*shudder* ) to see if I have Tourettes or not.

I voted 5 but meant 4- accidentally counted ASD diagnosis itself as a co-morbidity.

1)Non-Verbal Learning Disorder

2) had major depression - do I count this even if not experiencing a bout of depression at the moment?Maybe I should say 3.

3)ADD (would now be called ADHD inattentive sub-type)

4) Generalized Anxiety Disorder

Depressive disorder -not otherwise specified

Mathematics disorder

Borderline Intellectual Functioning (basically it is almost having intellectual disability without the "official" lD label)

and dyspraxia.

The dyspraxia impacts my ability to learn new things. I often learn something new more slowly and need more repetition.

I have 3 psych labels, but several medical labels. Since this is psych labels, here it goes:
Schizoaffective Disorder (Bipolar Type) -- but my med doc thinks it "Affective Disorder" and not schizoaffective
PTSD -- from bullying and other abuse
Bulimia nervosa (which is more binge eating without purging)

In the past, I had even more, but these are my labels now. Also, dx in the past with Borderline Personality Disorder, but my therapist is really unsure about it now because it's either a personality or Asperger (she's leaning toward Asperger).

Hmm, lets see...
Predominantly Inattentive ADD, Depression and Social Anxiety.

I know about 3 of them, but maybe I have more. I have sooooo many mental illnesses, I´m sooooo messed up, lol.
