My Mood Disorder (Part 3)
My trilogy of posts have inaccurate titles. I do not have a mood disorder. In the other posts, I forgot to mention that I have had three different psychiatrists. My current one is the most knowledgeable out of the three. This is the way I see it at least. He is does clinical work but also does research. He also seems the less stressed out of the three. He suspected that I have Asperger's so he referred to a place that does testing. The people who tested me found that I might have Asperger's. They found that my main symptom is intrusive thoughts. The diagnosed me with Psychotic Thought Disorder NOS. They told me that their main conclusion was not this diagnosis, but that my main symptom was intrusive thoughts. They also said I meet some criteria for Asperger's, Mood Disorder NOS, Schizophrenia and Schizoaffective Disorder. If I do actually have a mood disorder, it is secondary to my intrusive thoughts. I learned about this diagnosis just two days ago. Their findings do not surprise me at all. I've had intrusive thoughts my whole life. I'm going to make some of my blogs about specific, recurring thoughts I have. This blog needs a purpose.
