Your description did not mention any such preoccupations. The DSM-IV-TR, the manual that guides diagnosis, indicates that many individuals with Asperger's initially receive a diagnosis of ADHD.

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.

I saw your post and wanted to reach out to you. I might have a little bit of a different perspective as I have bipolar disorder (atypical because I have had mixed episodes) and I also work in a drug and alcohol treatment program.

Churnman - You're right, after getting a second (different) diagnosis there sure is a heavy decision to make. Good luck in getting healthy! Mickey88 - Yes, I identify most with an Anxiety disorder.

They are actually changing the DSM to start putting more emphasis on diagnosing symptoms rather than disorders which I think is a great improvement because like they said with schizophrenia in the article, a person with it may experience anxiety and insomnia because of it, but these are not required for the diagnosis which makes diagnosing a disorder rather than symptoms seem like an obsolete way of thinking.
