Re: my diagnosis in a hierarchy

In reply to ADD experience w/bipolar w/o, posted by JohnX2 on March 10, 2002, at 3:16:49


Thanks again for all the positive and insightful
feedback.

I've decided to break up my "labels" i.e. dx's
into buckets of confidence. I don't like labels.
I prefer to label myself. I don't think
the ADD is high level of confidence.

I think I could turn this into a fuzzy logic type
quantification if I thought about it hard enough.
But I'll just stick with my thoughts about my medicine
responses, life experiences, vantage points of others'
experiences, all my pdocs' diagnosis, and draw up a hierarchy:

confidence
level
------
tier 1: BipolarII (high)
tier 2: ADD (moderate?)
tier 3: PTSD/GAD/MajorDepression (low/moderate)
tier 4: Panic (remote)
tier 5: Anti Social Personality Disorder (go back to psych school you loser)

In the end I just do what makes me function well
and enjoy life as I be.

-John
