I was suicidal 10 years ago and made destructive choices and got wrongly diagnosed with Schizophrenia, They treat me with psychotic symptoms when I'm fine actually or else they try to take my prior behavioural mistakes and label me as autistic when I'm not that either, I've even became a pre diabetic and had a cholecystectomy from medication side effects

I believe I have been misdiagnosed with BPD. I actually think I am a well masked Autistic female who has struggled from very early in life. There are 7 people in my family with ASD. I was diagnosed with adhd which I accept but not BPD. There are so many things I dont fit with the BPD diagnosis.

So, my misdiagnosis case wasn't about any of the ones mentioned in the video (ADHD, autism, anxiety, dyslexia)... It was about bipolar disorder unfortunately In the past I was misdiagnosed with severe/chronic depression and parts of my life that would be hypomania episodes were either overlooked or labeled as "improvement from depression"... And this went on for 7 years 🥲 Only last year my psychiatrist finally connected the dots and realised I am bipolar 2, now I'm trying to find the best med match for my case And yesterday my mom shared that she thinks I'm at the start of a hypomania episode, I personally don't feel it besides the current issues to fall asleep tbh

And a doctor already suggested me to get assessed for ADHD bc I got diagnosed with auditory processing disorder But I knew this wasn't my case, I know that many ADHD symptoms do overlap with my autism, with my bipolar II and with my anxiety And my autism diagnosis was really well conducted, my parents had ton of evidence of things like myself stimming as a toddler, special interests among other things (the list is gigantic) Idk if that genetics for autism is for parents/siblings only bc almost all of them are neurotypical (except for my dad who has Tourettes), but I have 3 autistic cousins from my dad's side + distant autistic relatives, also in my dad's family About anxiety: basically everyone around me are anxious And for bipolar disorder I have both my aunt (dad's family), my uncle (mom's family) and especially my older sister

I certainly was given mental health diagnosis and I am on the autism spectrum and have dyslexia. I was late diagnosed with ASD. Previously was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and with schizotypal personality since I wasn't very social. The dyslexia was caught when I was in first grade. It isn't uncommon to have dyslexia and ASD is my understanding. Your thoughts?

Yeah... I agree. One psychlogist said I had ADHD. A few years later, the next one said it was the anxiety disorder alone. I distinctly feel symptoms of both (though to be specific, inattentive subtype for ADHD is likely what would be looked into). I'm getting a third opinion soon but this situation alone has been nuts. There's other issues as well, but that's only the tip of the iceberg with all of that.

I was emotionally and physically abused by both my parents and older brother when I was growing up. Got bullied a lot all the way through public school in a small farming community in middle America because I was smart and didn't know how to hide it. Started having psych problems at age 17. I was diagnosed with schizophrenia at age 20. I'm now 43. I have found therapy to be almost pointless as no therapist I've ever talked to over the last 23 years even wants to discuss my childhood as soon as they see that schizophrenia diagnosis. As far as hallucinations go, they were always the voices of my abusers but never like out there. When my doctor asked me if I "heard voices", I said yes. I never realized at that point that everyone hears thoughts in their head. These thoughts are what I was hearing. I did have a psychiatrist suggest a more accurate diagnosis could be C-ptsd a year ago. I wish I could have stayed her patient but because of circumstances I had to change doctors when I moved two states away. Long story short, I couldn't work because of crippling anxiety and ended up on disability pension in my late 20s. I wonder if all of this could have been avoided if not for that likely wrong schizophrenia diagnosis. My first psych doctor didn't bother to ask me if I was abused as a kid. Back then I thought physical and emotional violence were normal parts of raising children. It's possible I lost my childhood to an abusive family and my adulthood to a bad diagnosis.

I was put into the disability system because nobody wanted to help me with my childhood sexual abuse problems as well. I completely understand and agree with you. Society forces many young men who have crippling mental health problems from abuse into disability pensions because it can't sweep the problems under the rug properly enough for their half-crooked politicians that rob those social services programs of their original purposes for existing. I found out that it's not just in my personal life but in all of society that neglect extends its indifference toward suffering.

Well all mental illness comes from trauma and these are just made up lables so psychiatrist can get pay checks. Don't let it bother you too much. There's no point in even fighting for a lable unless maybe you could get.benefits, which aren't enough to live on. So yeah, it's all just a money scheme. Counseling and self deliverance is something you can actually gwt something out of if you know what you're doing. Real support helps but ppl can be pretty fake and toxic so that's hard to find. Which makes ppl like us more dismissige avoidant attachment.

I think I may have misdiagnosed as having narcissistic and histrionic personality disorders. I have had A lot of diagnoses but one was NPD and HPD back in the 80s. Better explained by intellectual disability with pragmatic social communication disorder. The treatment for pds didn't fit and made me feel worse. No one in my family has any personality disorders. There is anxiety which i have too.

Thanks for sharing your experience. We take mental health diagnoses very seriously. But in a case like yours, it might be good to remember that diagnosis merely describes an individual's state. And the description should be based on your experience and behavior. So if you feel like the diagnosis does not fit, I would argue that it doesn't. After all, you are the expert of your own experience. It might help you to take a close look at the official criteria. You can look it up in the DSM-5.

I am currently a young adult trying to figure out if I have dyslexia, and I was misdiagnosed with Aspergers Syndrome (I am aware it’s also an outdated diagnoses now) at a very young age. It was also diagnosed alongside dyspraxia, which I never knew until recently. Growing up I had a lot of trouble trying to figure out my identity, and developed very low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, and even OCD because of it. I now believe these were developed as a result of dyslexia, from either the stress of not having support or trying to subconsciously mask my symptoms. I don’t particularly blame the people in my life for not picking up my dyslexia, as I outwardly seemed very bright in school and was even sometimes at the top of my classes. I believe that my primary school experience allowed me to avoid a lot of extensive reading, and so my symptoms expressed themselves quite mildly. But people have been denying my dyslexia because of this. It feels very hard to fit in either group now as a result. Late high school is when it started to become very challenging for me. I had big academic dreams but could not handle the workload, and instead of acknowledging that I was struggling, I framed it as “I lost interest” and moved to something easier instead. I am currently in university, and dealing with the same problems. I’ve realised I lose interest in anything that overwhelms me because I am so burned out. I’m sharing this story because I believe my misdiagnosis heavily impacted my self-image, and my lack of support for dyslexia. I hope you find it interesting :)

The very fact that you can't quite tell the difference between mental health and NOT NORMAL, seems concerning, You seem to label anything "not normal" = mental health issues. Dyslexia is not a mental health issue, it can lead to developing mental health issues thought, just as ASD by it's lonesome is just an alternative way to be human and that can lead to the world hating on you enough to damage your mental health, leading to conditions like anxiety or cPTSD and many others.

What steps can I take to correct my medical records if i have received a misdiagnosis (and the provider refuses to speak to me about it at all)?

@animekitty3901 4 ай бұрын

Hi @ely178 , I'm currently going through the process of correcting misinformation and a misdiagnosis in my medical records with a provider who's being difficult, to say the least. First step, get a copy of your medical records (I assume you already have that?), write in detail what needs to be corrected (avoid unnecessary commentary, keep it short and straight to the point), I suggest getting a second copy of your records and marking it (i.e. highlighting the parts that you're talking about) it makes it easier to copy onto a seperate sheet of paper kind of like your rough draft, and ask to speak to the supervisor of the clinic your provider works in. If your provider is private, you may want to talk to your insurance or the hospital authority the provider is affiliated with. Example: in California, a lot of private doctors are affiliated with KMH where I'm at. If you can't find that, try searching the medical board wherever you're located at. All doctors have to be licensed with a medical board. From there, try to explain that you're wanting to amend your medical records and would like to submit a detailed summary of the corrections you feel need to be made to your medical records. Then drop off the summary with the copy of the records that are marked so they can see exactly what needs to be amended. If they refuse to amend your records, you can submit an addendum (it won't change your records but it will be information added to your records by you, usually limited to 250 words or less). Best of luck to you!

I was misdiagnosed for 15 years with ADHD, anxiety but I had covert (minimal) hepatic encephalopathy and Wernicke encephalopathy. The antidepressants made my liver fail more until I got fulminant liver failure and almost died. I have now acquired cerebellar ataxia as permanent damage. I am on B1, Lactulose, rifaximin and l-ornithine-l-aspartate. Non-alcoholic Wernicke encephalopathy is diagnosed POST-MORTEM in 94%. HE (hepatic encephalopathy) is very very often overlooked. Drinking and high protein intake combined with an infection can bring it on easily. The impairment in my executive functions and my sleeping problems did bring along anxiety and depression as I was a mess often for months, not knowing it was my liver.

I do not mind sharing. Treatment Resistant Depression, started getting some personality trait diagnosis as I was not getting better. A full review eliminates that and added ASD ( explains so much ) and the physical condition ME/CFS. The influenza caused the fatigue, but overlapping with Autistic burnout and then multiple major life stressors the MDD was assigned ( and it was severe) now Persistent Depressive Disorder. So the problem was my fatigue was always attributed to depression and when I said exercise made it worse (as it does with ME) I was labeled non compliant when I could not do cardio. Also my unknown ASD, I fall into the category of over compliant behaviour, and not trusting myself I continued with a SSRI which enhanced my depression symptoms of Anhedonia. Lost years in what I call my depression coma. No joy. It is my wish we all could get a full life review ( over many appointments) and not a check box interview that does not look outside the box.

Pretty sure I was misdiagnosed with social communication disorder. I sought a diagnostic exam at 23 for ASD, and have the doctor a list of childhood behaviors that were repetitive or restrictive, and the Dr merely acknowledged it, and justified ruling it out by saying that because I didn’t show symptoms while testing with her, that the behaviors are sub clinical, and thus an ASD diagnosis is not necessary… even though the DSM-5 acknowledges masking behaviors over time and symptoms not needing to be in the present to be diagnosed. She said maybe the diagnosis would have been different if I was tested as a child. She never even interviewed family members or friends to get a long term opinion. I consider myself Autistic though. I’ve known since I was little that I was different, and that different behavior was definitely more than just social communication issues
