Questioning the Accuracy of Multiple Diagnoses

Hi! I've been dealing with several mental illnesses for over 20 years. All of them have been diagnosed by a psychiatrist and confirmed by other psychiatrists, nurse practitioners, and therapists. Having 3+ mental health diagnosed is most certainly possible.

You aren't missing anything. You have been diagnosed with everything because there is evidence supporting them. Keep in mind that not everyone will agree with or believe in all your dx's. Just because they say that they think you have too many doesn't mean it's true. My family tells me the same thing. Take it with a grain of salt.

Hey just an FYI psychologists have NO medical training so ignore what your friend said they actually don't know what they're talking about and most of your issues do often go hand in hand.

Several of your conditions have many overlapping symptoms and can be difficult to distinguish if you aren't well researched in all of them, that can even include doctors who aren't specialized in the right areas, so it is possible that the symptoms you're attributing to multiple conditions are all a part of just one or two conditions. However, it also isn't unheard of to have as many as you have listed, or more, especially since many of those conditions have comorbidities with each other. You might consider looking at symptom venn diagrams and other comparisons of all of the conditions you feel match and see if anything can be ruled out.

I wouldn't worry too much about what they are saying.
