Hi Damian, My Doctor told me yesterday he thinks I hv BPD and ADHD... I am thinking that they hv similar symptoms but he says that the severity of the mood swings would suggest BDP also... I dont know anything about it, and i think that maybe the whole Eastenders thing has given it a little too much bad press cos my husband's first words were "so your psychotic now too" Like I say, I dont know anything about BDP so any pointers would be great

Out of your list I probably have everything except bipolar - but most are undiagnosed and fairly mild apart from the anxiety and depression (which have been 'diagnosed' for 30 years).

soz migmog I worded it wrong BPD = Borderline personailty disorder I have emotionally unstable type. However it is difficult to seperate what is adhd and BPD. As for bipolar be careful a lot of psychiatrists don't beleive in Adult ADHD/ADD etc. And Depression is common in adults with an ADHD Disorder as are rapid mood cyclings. I got filled full of lithium and olanzipine in the past and it made me a lot worse. Hyperactivity can be mistook for hypomania as they are pretty much the same. For a diagnosis of Bi-polar You should have had full blown mania ie thinking you were jesus etc.

lol oops i am no good with all these abbreviations!!... i dont think it is bi-polar because i dont hv full on manic modes just major highs and lows which from my understanding can come from adhd anyway... i am really worried that i will just get labelled with bi-polar and the adhd not be investigated at all! i guess i will just hv to see what the psychiatrist says...

My depression is really bad sometimes well a lot of the time. But my ADHD makes me manic so to speak so I can be laughing one minute and down the next. I get things, thoughts, and felings mixed up all the time. Can you get any old school reports to take with you to your meeting? Or reports from people who know you things like that?

I wish i could but my family, like alot of others, dont hv anything to do with me... haven't since i was 17 or so (37 now) and even before i was always just the naughty one.. they threw all my books etc out when i moved out so i doubt they would be willing to discuss my school reports!! I dont hv anything to do with anyone pre-five yrs ago when i moved so only my hubby knows me... for some reason they dont even hold medical records of me before 17 because they say they hv got lost!! lol... I am like u with the thoughts and feelings, especially guilt... for no reason i will think of things and feel guilty.. even after posts i hv put on here, i question what i hv written!!

Well if you can just try to remember how teachers viewed you etc. Try to write down the things you do as a list if you can. Get your husband to write a lsit of things you do as well a good psych doc will take it onboard. They will ask you loads of questions anyway and your head will be swimming when you come out so make sure you write down a list of things you think are important to raise. Nothing worse then leaving and thinking oh no I should have told them about that

bipolar 1(mostly effects men) you have full blown mania and delusions of grandure! bipolar 2 (effects more women) have shifts in mood (hyper-hypo mania) elate or depressed mood will last for 14-28 days in one mood phase! do not have any delusions at all! cyclothymia- pants diagnosis if they can't put you into either of the above lables or you have done class a drugs within 2 years of seeing a specialist! bipolar disorder runs throught families there is 50/50% chance of passing it on it may skip a generation. so chances are if there is no history of bipolar affective disorder in you family you are not bipolar. personality disorders exist and they can make you crave attention to be paranoid and they have there own idividual titles! borderline personality disorder is a blanket diagnosis on the boderline they know you have a personality disorder but it's a fast diagnosis and women respond better to CBT than men! like ADHD BPD is a mixture of symptoms it go's all ends of the spectrum where you got attention seeking type disorder to going inwards!

Phil, Did you they ever talk about the temporal lobe epilepsy/adhd/xx potential links? I read "somewhere" that cyclothymia is a bipolar spectrum affliction that means your thymic-ness is cycling between mild/minor/a degree of mania and consequently a resulting mild to moderate depression. The mania has to come first of course and the depression is the end result of the temporary mania. So, higher, longer mania = worse, longer depression. I personally did not think you were cyclothymic because you did not mention a depression. Maybe it is missed in cyclothymia? Obviously, one's fruitcake session durations may vary... www.drbilllong.com/GrLaRoots/Pyc.htmlQUOTE The OED says that a pyknic person was inclined, in Kretschmer's system, to a "cyclothymic" termperament. Cyclothymia (derived from the Greek words for "circle" and "mind, temper") was first used in 1921 to describe a condition marked by cyclic alterations of mood from exhilaration to depression, with a tendency towards manic-depression. I wonder, again, if manic-depression replaced this word--or whether it ever really "caught on." I guess, from this article, that cyclothymia is a mild form of Bipolar II disorder. We have so many categories, don't we? END Hence also, dysthymia, greek for ill-mood/humour. dys(functional) mind/mental process etc blah blah, www.drbilllong.com/SpellersDiary/Dys.htmlQUOTE Dysthymic comes from the Greek word dysthymia, which means despair or despondency. Dysthymia has been taken over into English and means the same thing as in Greek. "She was worried that his continued dysthymia was the result not of anything that he faced at work or at home, but was a symptom of general ennui that had been gripping him for the past decade. END ^^ Hmmm I suppose room for improvement there. depression.about.com/od/dysthymia/a/dysthymic.htmI'm a classic dysthymic on top of other things, but I wonder how childhood dysthymic undiagnosed (usually not noticed until patient mentions symptoms to a doctor who actually cares enough or even can be bothered with it) The end result is the same though, regardless, anti depressants, but perhaps atypicals work better unless, person is treatment resistant. That could really mean, its the wrong treatment method and wrong diagnosis lol. Anyway, I'm on ramble mode, so I'll stop here......screeeeech.

Ah, general ennui....they had it a lot in the late 19th century. Baudelaire called it 'spleen' and wrote poetry about it. We'd never have had romantics without a spot of ennui to make them interesting.

This shrink is my biggest psychiatric problem.
Been diagnoses Bi-polar. An Alcoholic (I hardly ever drink) Substance Abuse (don't fit diagnosis criteria by a long shot, and only had bad problems on the drugs she gave me) Schizophrenic (I've always had in-site and don't attach myself to things. So God knows how I made that one). All manner of gibberish on my medical records. Almost sectioned. Referrals refused. [for about 2 years now]
Apart from the Asperger's. [which may or may not be a form of autism, though autism seems to be a 'general' symptomatic condition, not a specific condition. Like having a 'bad leg']

My Doc thought I had Bi-polar but when I saw the psych it was because my moods swing changes daily rather than weekly/monthly that he decided it was part of the ADHD and not bi-polar at all!!

I've only recently entered the world of mental health treatment, but self-diagnosed my alcoholism a long time ago. Also addict of marijuana. Yeah, you know, the 'non-addictive herb'? I've now been clean AND sober over 5 years, with the help of 12-step fellowships. I've struggled with depression which has a seasonal component to it, but my little blue light seems to work wonders.

Oooh, giddy, SNAP!! Along with disassociation something or other.
At least that was the initial diagnosis instead of ADHD - I'm not sure whether it's now considered co-morbid or not. As far as I'm concerned it was a mis-diagnosis. I'll have to wait and see what December brings.
Edit: Actually, yes, probably co-morbid (I've looked into it some more). Balls.

andy i had febril convultions as a baby my seizures stopped up until my teens but then i went through a series of diffrent types of seizures like i stepped up! epilepsy is in it's self a co;morbid effect of adhd and or asd it is funny how my children have had seizures and they both have adhd. i saw a dr menton in cardiff a so called adhd expert and she told me that i have not got adhd as my test results showed one type and my mothers showed another i said what about combined adhd and was told there was no such thing it don't exist! funny how it is mentioned on the n.h.s choices site and reckonised by n.i.c.e and the fact that a so called expert was unawre of this only leads me to the conclusion that she was really fucking shit at her job or was a fucking stooge to make it look like the mental health team is actually doing somthing for me in the last 5 years. i'm still waiting on a copy of a report they had from dr mention i have been waiting for months since the summer! my new years resaloution is if i ain't got that report by new years eve i will instruct a solicitor to write to them for it ;D

Damianmark.. dont worry there is nothing wrong with your 'personality' .. you are unique how can there be!? emotional dysregulation is a symptom highly associated with ADHD, especially if the ADHD has caused depression & anxiety to be present... what would help is a clued up psych who is not going to question your character which will only make you feel worse about yourself & won't help, & instead deal with the adhd & depression & anxiety as adhd symptoms.. alongside some good person centred counselling i'm sure you would find this much more helpful.. just my opinion ;-) healthmad.com/mental-health/what-is-a-personality-disorder-2/

Aah yes.. a syndrome! again how can anything unique be abnormal? Human beings have conditions not disorders & syndromes... the word spectrum sums it up.. " a broad range of related qualities" which is neither derogatory, degrading or unlawful but true by definition... "symptoms of the human spectrum condition" would be a far more ethical diagnostic umbrella for the NHS to employ for all mental health conditions & they would be able to address, evaluate, asess & treat all their patients as unique individuals in their own right using that approach! ;-D

I have depression and OCD and a few other things. I should probably add stress to that but I've never been actually told I'm suffering from stress, although they do say that it doesn't help my health etc, so maybe they have lol.
Other than those I have the erm...'ticcy' syndrome (I'll say it one day) a sensory processing disorder and my GP n neuro think I've got Aspergers and I'm waiting to see someone for an assessment about it.

I believe that my depression and anxiety are a RESULT of having ADHD.

Social anxiety and PTSD. I also thought I had boderline personality disorder but I think it is a mixture of these and adhd. The symptoms are really similar, I think the only difference with BPD and ADHD is the rage about unmet needs isn't it? don't quote me on that though.

I've had a run in with body dismorphic disorder (along with others) but I now think that was a result of an intense and long episode of depression and hyperfocus. I think ADHD is the root cause of most of my mh problems

I think ADHD is the root cause of most of my mh problems I think I have body disomorphic disorder to but it only seems to appear when I'm really stressed. I agree with you. I thought that I must be really ugly and that's why people didn't like me. I honestly thought everyone had the same difficulties as me in day to day life. I never realised until a month ago that it was the adhd! And that's what people find annoying or difficult to understand not my ugliness!
