#<- ‘major depressive disorder multiple episodes’ for the Americans 🗣️

[crippy-tangerine]

Positive post, but mention psychiatry + vaguely talk about misdiagnosis so!

Okay but like… Shoutout to our (newer) psychiatrist who just wrote the first psychiatric report we’ve ever had as an adult that doesn’t have “EUPD”/“BPD” written as one of our diagnoses…. And for being the first psychiatrist to bother diagnosing us with C-PTSD and recurrent depressive disorder 🥹.

Also said something along lines of “I think your autism is at the centre of most of your issues” and yes, yes it is, thank you for recognising that 🗣️.

Feels real good to see a report on us that doesn’t fixate on the “borderline/emotionally unstable personality disorder” label. Some of us used to think it fits, but to be honest, the ASPD/CPTSD/autism/CDD combo covers everything that apparently make us BPD. (And what a combo…. Wow….)

A win of an appointment to be honest. Worth the money 🧎.
