160: The Diagnosis Dilemma - Is it BPD, ASD or C-PTSD?

I have long since struggled to find the right diagnosis, as well as with the concept of a diagnosis it self.

Not only can a diagnosis be prescriptive and limiting, it can also be given incorrectly. There is a massive crossover between the symptomologies, and some specialists have a tendency to over diagnose to the affirmative of their area.

What’s more, the clinical setting is a limited and artificial representation of the patients experience.

All this can lead to a confusing, drawn out and exhausting experience for those of us navigating our way through our mental health concerns.
