> I have only officially been diagnosed with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and Cyclothymia. My therapist, who says he isn't authorized to diagnose, says if he would say DDNOS if he were authorized. I don't mention this to my psychiatrist. It's not a medication issue, and I don't think he'd care for it very much.
This is so interesting to me. My original dx when I began therapy was major depression by my p doc and therapist. My pdoc however brought up "dissociation" with me one day and said I need to work with my therapist about this. my therapist and pdoc are within the same practice and have discussed my case. It was during my last appt with my pdoc (2 months ago) when he actually wrote the DSM codes 1. Major depression
2. DID. I didn't recognize the code # so I looked it up and found that the code was for DID.
Anyway, I'm just trying to feel well.
