Psychiatric disorders are not medical diseases. There are no lab tests,MRIs brain scans, X-rays or chemical imbalance tests that can verify any mental disorder is a physical condition. This is not to say that people do not get depressed, or that people can’t experience emotional or mental duress, but psychiatry has repackaged these emotions and behaviors as “disease” in order to sell drugs. This is a brilliant marketing campaign, but it is not science.

I've given up on getting help anymore. I keep on coming back to thinking this is maybe what I have, but I've seen so many mental health professionals I just can't bring myself to see any more.
I was also misdiagnosed with depression by my PCP. It wasn't until I saw a psychiatrist and had a couple major manic episodes that I was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder. It's also true you don't go to the doctor when you are feeling good or on a manic high. It wasn't until my partner demanded I "do something!" that I was diagnosed. I had no idea at the time my mood swings were so bad. I spent years thinking it was PMS and looking for natural remedies like vitamins and such!
i was misdiagnosed with personality disorder then bipola then peronality again. in fact i have pmdd and not the above. so if u'v been told u have 1 or the other please just write a diary everyday for 3 month just a few words so its easy to see if theres a patten, if there is take diary to doc and demand its checked out. dont bother with psychologist etc, they refuse to believe pmdd exsist. but once treated 4 pmdd yr have a happy life

I was misdiagnosed with depression when I first started seeing a psychiatrist.
