Almost 10 years later and I finally have an official diagnosis

[dazed and confused]

First I was diagnosed with depression.

Then it was bipolar 2.

Then it was borderline personality disorder (despite having none of the symptoms).

Then it was bipolar with psychosis.

Then I was told I don't have bipolar and there was nothing they could do for me.

And now it's been changed again and been made official...schizoaffective disorder. All the symptoms fit and it makes perfect sense. Several doctors have mentioned it to me but until now it had never been made official on my medical files. It doesn't change anything really, it's the same meds but it gives me peace of mind knowing why I have certain symptoms.

Hi dazed, seems like it’s been a while. Yeah, dx’s can be reassuring, if only for the knowledge.

I'm glad you finally have a diagnosis that feels like it fits.

I was also relieved with my schizoaffective diagnosis because it led to better pharmacological decisions (i.e, clozapine). I'm glad it is giving you peace of mind.
