My depression and anxiety was not related to an actual anxiety depression diagnosis, but more related to my Asperger's. I also once was diagnosed with OCD, but my obsessions again were pleasurable relating to my Asperger's. The anxiety and depression was because I was put in an inappropriate placement(a group home/day agency), even though I am intelligent and do not and never needed any assistance with anything. This caused a self-esteem problem. The doctor's realized this and I was taking off medications and I was told and so was my family that I would do better independently using my potential, with psychotherapy to help me with the emotional parts of getting on with my life(which I am doing well). The medications not only caused severe to profound adverse side effects, but caused a lot of my health problems(I even had type 2 diabetes, but got off the Seroquel med that caused it and now I am no longer a diabetic, nor insulin resistant and I am completely cured). The medications made me "mentally ret*d", even though I have an extremely high IQ, but the medications made my brain shut off so bad, that I could not even read at one point. It was horrible.
