Squiggles,

Now you have it, this is the very problem with psychiatry, NO MEDICAL TESTING.....plenty of meaningless psychological hokus-pokus but no testing leading to a definitive DX and effective treatment. We need to see the genetic markers, intra-cellular ADs, etc. - not likely to occur in my life time. Stay with your GP and read this board.....you will be as well off as anyone else.

Best of luck to you,

Geezer
