anxiety disorder nos criteria

some ppl have been starved as a child and are tormented with issues regarding food. eating disorder NOS means that you meet the criteria for having an eating disorder but you do not meet the criteria for anorexia or bulimia. i had no issues with body image whatsoever. you may have an eating disorder or you may just be experiencing loss of appetite due to your pre-existing condition. whatever the underlaying problem is it needs to be fixed.. FOOD IS FUEL!

It was just sort of a random brain fart without any real logic. It seems to me PDD NOS is sort of a "catch all" for various things that may or may not be occuring. In my opinion PDD NOS needs revision done more than anything else in the autism/developmental concerns. I joke it's the DSM's verson of "I don't know what the heck you have but it's pervasive and affecting your development." It also seems to be a concern for insurances and getting services...

Have a look at the DSM IV criteria for PDD NOS and Autism (or autistic spectrum disorder). The criteria says problems with speech and communication (which your son has). Problems with needing a rigid routines or being inflexible (which your son has). The need for things to remain the same usually indicates poor imagination and flexibility of thought. Sensory issues (typical of ASD, but not in the criteria).

I was diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder and now they changed my diagnosis to Mood Disorder NOS. Does anyone know what that is?

Our son, at 9, is now diagnosed Aspergers (Autistic), ADHD with Impulsivity and Sensory Processing Disorder-( the old Sensory Intergration Disorder). Basically, it all means, we have a great kid as I stated on other post! He's not your 'typical' kid, but whose is? All the years of listening to well-meaning friends with my poor Autistic Child.

ve had symptoms that could fall under acute stress disorder, panic disorder, general anxiety disorder, and depression. Sometimes the symptoms can fit in one catagory and then switch over to a different catagory. For example, in the past I've had frequent panic attacks throughout the day. Overtime, I've found triggers (more trivial than life threatening) for some while others just happen. Majority of the symptoms began after 2 years of profound stress.

My son has a diagnosis of autism however socially he did not fall within the diagnostic criteria for autism, he has good eye contact, is loving and plays with other children (although his play skills are delayed). He does how ever display repetitive and stim behaviours and although verbal he has language difficulties specifically with conversation and is often echolaic. There were enough issues to give him a diagnosis of ASD.

I would go back to your GP/Paediatrician and tell them you want referring to a multi-disciplinary team that has experience of diagnosing autism and aspergers. Have you googled DSM IV Aspergers/Autism/PDD NOS to get the clinical criteria the professionals are looking for? As you will see any child only has to get some of the behaviours in the areas mentioned. I would then begin making a daily diary of behaviours he shows that meets the criteria.

If you click on the Health Page icon on the top right hand corner of this forum page, go into The Behavioural Charteristics behind a Diagnosis of an Autistic Spectrum Disorder. I have posted the DSM IV Clinical Criteria and parents have posted examples of their child's behaviour that meets the criteria. This should give you some ideas of what the professionals are looking for.

ll start with our story, my 8yo little boy has current diagnoses of psychotic disorder NOS, mood disorder NOS, and ADHD, combined type. We are pending diagnoses of Schizoaffective disorder, Bipolar disorder with psychosis. It's been a rough road, and still is. His meds are constantly being changed, and we just had another hospitalization. I have hope for the future, and believe we can all find support here. What is your story?

RockRose - I did not know that. Our nephew was tested for Asperger's but he was too high-functioning and so was diagnosed with PDD-NOS. At the time he was about 30 years old so it was just a few years ago.

so ive been taking it for a long time. i have severe panic disorder with generalized anxiety disorder and major depressive disorder. i know im addicted to xanax, the max dosage is up to 6 mg a day, believe it or not. ive been suffering severely again the last year and have been given many diff. antidepressants, lexzapro,paxil,pristique,invega,and now just stopped remeron and am starting all over with a low dose of zoloft 25mg.

schizophrenoform disorder, r/o psychotic disorder NOS, r/o MDD chronic with psychotic features, r/o alcohol abuse, partner relation problem Axis 2: no diagnosis with paranoid traits Axis 3 deferred Several months after discharge diagnosis (not by doctor who gave second opinion) amended to Axsis 1: MDD, in remission, r/o depression due to general medical condition (vestibular injury), adjustment disorder with depression/anxiety, partner relation problems, alcohol abuse.

Individuals with purging disorders often are normal or near normal weight. Currently, purging disorder is under Eating Disorder NOS (Not Otherwise Specified) in the DSM-IV TR diagnostic manuel for psychiatric disorders. To learn more about other eating disorders, visit the bella vita website.

I know of four bipolar 1 with or without psychotic features, bipolar 2, bipolar nos, and cyclothimia. With bipolar 1 you get full blown mania and major depression, with bipolar 2 you get hypomania and major depression. cyclothimia fluctuates between minor depression and hypomania. Bipolar nos is where they put you when you obviously show some symptoms of bipolar disorder but they do not know which classification to put you in.

I had similar thoughts about my son. If you have a speech disorder, sensory integration disorder, auditory processing disorder etc that are separate diagnosis - do they add up to autism? I think my son is autistic because he does meet the criteria. There are some areas he does quite well at, and like you, if he improves he could well lose his diagnosis as well. I don't understand why professionals are so black and white about things (sometimes I find them more autistic than my son!).

She talks back, refuses to do what is asked of her and even if someone is hurt she shows no emotion. Some have diagnosed her with Mood Disorder NOS and ODD, but I was wondering if there could be some sort of personality disorder because of the lack of emotion (affact).

According to the DSM-IV-TR, a diagnosis of Bipolar I disorder requires one or more manic or mixed episodes. The criteria for Bipolar I (Bipolar Type 1, BP 1, or BPD 1) are defined in the DSM-IV-TR. The current or previous course of the illness may include hypomanic and depressive episodes also, but the diagnosis of BP I requires only one manic or mixed episode.

The DSM-V has now converted Aspergers, PDD-NOS, and Autistic Disorder, into one diagnosis called ASD(Autism Spectrum Disorder) with three levels (3-severe 2-moderate 1-mild).

means to consider the possibility that the disorder exists but currently it is not certain. NOS is not otherwise specified, which means bipolar 1 and 2 and cyclothymia have been ruled out already, meaning the pdoc doesn't believe you have these diagnoses.

OCD, generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, mood disorder, possible bipolar or depression, PTSD, ED NOS. Among a few other things. And over the past few months I have torn my boyfriend apart, taken my problems out on him and its to the point of he told me i needed to get help or we couldn't be together anymore. I love him and don't want to go back to rehab but i want to make this work, i just don't know how to go about it.
