There is quite a bit of controversy over what justifies a particular diagnosis. Some doctors are even suggesting that labeling anyone can be detrimental to the patient. I think the real question is are you willing to start a lifetime of treatment with brain disabling drugs?
For some people this is an option. Your obvious concern about your health indicates this may not be the case for you. If you are currently taking medication proceed cautiously. Do not abruptly stop your meds! One of my favorite sites is: www.breggin.com . You may get a more complete answer to your question there. :-]
