@tjhexf it's easier if i point at the DSM-V but here you go:
-
@tjhexf there are actually disorders i know i have but refuse to get formally diagnosed with because of the issue at the end. i don't want to appear with "too many" mental disorders because it's already bad enough as it is

@puppygirlhornypost2 are you supposed to be able to just get diagnosed by a psychiatrist?? all the last ones basically said "oh you need to find a specialist for a diagnosis" and threw me at someone else

@tjhexf depends on the disorder, my psychiatrist diagnosed me with bipolar.

-
@tjhexf i had a chronic strep infection for 10 years.

@puppygirlhornypost2 @tjhexf I would also like to point out that the official diagnosis conditions for depression in the DSM-V is INCREDIBLY stupid and just fucking batshit. it is based on NOTHING empirical and literally they just polled a bunch of doctors and asked them "what are some of the symptoms of depression" and then those are what it lists. no I'm not joking.
-
@tjhexf now i just have to keep in mind whenever my PANDAS symptoms flare and i take this special antibiotic regimen for like three weeks or something insane in case they managed to get back up in there. idk why they want to share my brain it's annoying actually
-
@[email protected] @[email protected] i believe you considering that most of modern psychiatry is actually based off of work done by the nazis. aspergers was made up into existence from someone looking for a problem to solve.
-
@[email protected] @[email protected] i say this as someone who can't find a better diagnosis for what i have though. i just wasn't diagnosed with it because they removed the diagnosis completely literally a couple days before my official diagnosis
-
@[email protected] @[email protected] so now i just have autism spectrum disorder + adhd and the AuDHD or whatever stupid fucking shit
-
@puppygirlhornypost2 @tjhexf this is a hugely important insight! i'm sorry you had to learn it.
the things in ones medical records are overwhelmingly used to hurt patients.
i routinely tell doctors NOT to chart specific things we talk about and often get medications out-of-pocket to keep them off my "record".
all this stuff gets weaponized by insurers when they want to deny coverage or - at worst - cops and the legal system should you ever be thrown into it.
it's so bad
β -
@[email protected] @[email protected] i mean i am not complaining that i haven't been diagnosed with the disease a nazi eugenicist literally made up but you know
-
@[email protected] @[email protected] me trying to explain to insurance I canβt just go without the adhd meds that make me functional itβs not an optional cost
-
@puppygirlhornypost2 @tjhexf wait wdym?
are you talking about Hans Asperger? bc afaik he only created the "Aspergers" diagnosis?
-
@[email protected] @[email protected] wasn't he literally hired by the nazis
-
@[email protected] @[email protected] https://tidsskriftet.no/en/2019/05/essay/asperger-nazis-and-children-history-birth-diagnosis yeah (not the first one of these articles)
-
@puppygirlhornypost2 @tjhexf hans asperger was a nazi, yeah, but iirc he didn't like "make up" the entire thing
-
@[email protected] @[email protected] it's kind of hard to believe that when his name is next to child euthanasia programs
