Avatar f tn Jaquta - Yes, I have read through the DSM-IV criteria. That's how I came up with an Anxiety disorder self diagnosis, and why I'm rejecting the Psychosis/Schizophrenia diagnosis, and rejecting the depression diagnosis.

Conversion disorder is a diagnosis of exclusion; the exclusion of the offending neurologist from the consulting room often results in complete remission.
Avatar n tn she told me to go home and read up about Bipolar Disorder and see if I felt like it was fitting. The next session we looked at the DSM-IV and based on the ability to check off a certain amount of symptoms I had been experiencing, I was able to gently accept the fact that I did indeed have Bipolar Disorder. So that may be a good way for you to go about researching what you feel like you might be living with.
Avatar f tn If you have a look at DSM IV code 299, this is the clinical diagnostic criteria for autism. That will give you a broad, basic understanding of what the professionals are looking for.

As I will come back to further below, there are several forms of bipolar disorder*.
Avatar m tn First of all, there is no clear consensus as to how many types of bipolar disorder exist. In DSM-IV-TR and ICD-10, bipolar disorder is conceptualized as a spectrum of disorders occurring on a continuum. The DSM-IV-TR lists four types of mood disorders which fit into the bipolar categories: Bipolar I, Bipolar II, Cyclothymia, and Bipolar Disorder NOS (Not Otherwise Specified) like I said, so I was in fact numerating the aknowledged types only, yet articles tell you there are even more than 5.

Avatar m tn 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.

Avatar f tn The problem is that although clinical experience demonstrates that treatment with antidepressants clearly stimulates mania in some people, the DSM-IV and other diagnostic tools all indicate that you don’t have bipolar disorder if your mania or hypomania is brought on by drugs or medications. In a study done in France, involved 48 psychiatric working in 15 different psychiatric centers with a total of nearly 500 patients with major depression.
572651 tn?1530999357 In the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual IV (DSM IV), conversion disorder is one of the somatoform disorders. In the International Classification of Diseases 10 (ICD 10), it is called ‘dissociative disorder’. At first, I was very confused by this statement. (My very slow brain often confuses me, these days.) After some thought, and after rereading my old collection of articles on the spectrum of dissociative disorders, I would like to point out some important distinctions in terminology.
Avatar m tn Well intrusive thoughts might just be a way for your mind to calm itself down. Maybe a mechanism to cope with stress? It could be a variety of things. If these intrusive thoughts are not bad thoughts just very random then it shouldn't be something to worry about.
