Have yall ever gotten casual diagnoses? Like I’ve gone to a psych since I was like 8 for depression and anxiety and they’re the ones who brought up autism, ocd, adhd

The adhd one was the most bizarre because I was breaking down over school stress and she was like “are you ready to talk about medicating your adhd?” which we’d NEVER discussed before so I was like “medicating my WHAT NOW???” N she was like “I just assumed you knew” and wrote me a script for adderall that day?? Like I didn’t have to do any formal testing and I actually still haven’t to this day but every psychiatrist just uses my diagnostic history to continue prescribing things to me

They never even told me when I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety, I just found out later when I looked at my discharge paperwork. I was also diagnosed with bpd and not told, but that’s probably bc I don’t have it and that psych was an asshole who made me feel worse.

I mean I wasn’t actually told I was diagnosed with anxiety but I was prescribed anxiety meds so I guess I have anxiety (which does make sense7

I’ve had a multiple diagnoses they just put on the discharge paperwork without telling me from iop/php programs. When I was 9 I also found out I had MDD because the psychiatrist said we should change my med to address my depression and I said my WHAT. And he said did you not know you had depression and I said I knew I was depressed but I didn’t know I had diagnosable depression and he said oh well you do it’s called major depressive disorder 🤷‍♀️

I brought up autism to my therapist tho once, and she was just like, yes. She was definitely waiting for me to bring it up first. I think practitioners do that a lot, wait for you to bring something up (that they’ve already noticed), and I wish they wouldn’t bc it confuses me and idk what diagnoses are official or not.

To me it feels a little bit different bcos the adhd meds are a controlled substance 😭 but this is good information regardless, thank you 🫶
