Misdiagnosis of Bipolar Disorder?
I was diagnosed as Bipolar when I was 13, and I'm 19 now. I have ADHD, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Social Anxiety Disorder, and "Bipolar disorder", but I don't believe I'm Bipolar. When I received that diagnosis I was in the mental hospital and they had me off my ADHD medication so obviously I was incredibly hyper. I believe it's the wrong diagnosis because I never get "manic" unless I don't have my medication for ADHD. I recently had a stint in the hospital and the doctor there put me on 1000mgs of Depakote which made me incredibly sleepy. When I went to my outpatient doc he said that for my height and weight I should be on 2000mg and if I took that much I'd never wake up. He put me on a different mood stabilizer and it doesn't work. I've been on all of them. I only get really depressed. I go from loving someone to hating them over and over again throughout the day. The same thing for any other emotion. I cut, pick at my skin, and fear abandonment. I found out at 13 I was adopted and my mom was my maternal grandmother, my dad wasn't even blood-related to me, my "sister" was my real mom and all my nieces were my sisters. It was so hard on me, around the same time I fell in love for the first time and my baby sister was living with us. The next fall she ended up getting adopted. I've seen her twice since 2007. All these things have made me so insecure, I have identity issues, and I'm afraid of abandonment. I think I have Borderline Personality Disorder and they have mistaken my hyperactivity for mania because with my Adderall I don't get "manic".
I forgot to mention I cut and have dermatilomania.

Range of health questions.?
I have a few problems, some that have been going on for a while, some that are quite new. I'll start with the least urgent.
I've never experienced anything like this - long term - only little random sparks of it, but my upper left eyelid is spasming at least ten times a day. It happens randomly, been there longer than a week and isn't visible for anyone else, but you can feel it if I get them to place their fingers on my closed eye. It doesn't hurt, or come with any other symptoms, just irritating.
My second problem is my stomach. I've had ultrasounds and a bunch of blood tests, but there always seems to be a problem with my stomach. I've always been told it was due to my GAD (generalized anxiety disorder) but I've been on Endep 25 for a while now, and the anxiety has almost gone completely away, not the controlling my life any more. I don't know whether the pain in my UPPER stomach is a burning, or tight pain, it's hard to decide. I suppose tightness is the right word though. It doesn't always follow after food, but sometimes it will. It isn't debilitating, but it does hurt. Sometimes more than other times. It's just below my rib cage, generally in the center. I get it when I lean forward for too long as well, but it's usually a lot more severe pain when I lean forward. I have changed my diet quite a bit, mostly organic healthy foods, adding more green tea. But, even on days I cheat and eat bad foods, or miss my green teas, it still occurs, so I have ruled out diet, as well as vitamins supplements.
If anyone can help with either problem at all, that'd be amazing.
Doctors always give different suggestions, but can never pinpoint the problem since it doesn't seem to have a trigger.
Thanks for any questions or advice given.

10 Aug 2009 at 1:39am Brain Res. 2009;doi:10.1016/j.brainres.2009.07.074 Extracellular serotonin level in the basolateral nucleus of the amygdala and dorsal periaqueductal gray under unconditioned and conditioned fear states: an in vivo microdialysis study Zanoveli JM, Carvalho MC, Cunha JM, Brandão ML. Serotonin (5-HT) plays a key role in the neural circuitry mediating unconditioned and conditioned fear responses related to panic and generalized anxiety disorders. The basolateral nucleus of the amygdala (BLA) and the dorsal periaqueductal gray (dPAG) appear to be mainly involved in these conditions. The aim of this study was to measure the extracellular level of 5-HT and its metabolite 5-hydroxyindolacetic acid (5-HIAA) in the BLA and dPAG during unconditioned and conditioned fear states using in vivo m...Read more...
Psychodynamic Therapy vs CBT Smackdown for Anxiety
9 Aug 2009 at 9:08am This study used seven different measures, not only at the end of treatment, but at a 6-month followup (something else many drug studies fail to do). Virtually of the measures employed showed significant improvement on anxiety and depression measures, not only at the end of treatment, but also virtually unchanged at the 6-month followup (e.g., the treatment was long-lasting). This study demonstrates that psychodynamic psychotherapy is an effective alternative for the treatment of generalized anxiety disorder, when compared to the more commonly-used CBT. The researchers encourage more studies like this one, and I couldn’t agree more. It’s a timely reminder of the value of the different types of psychotherapies available, not just the kind that might be in vogue at the moment. Ref...Read more...
