Will an initial diagnosis of DMDD be turned into bipolar disorder diagnosis?
I'm a 22 yr old male I just started going to the therapist and have been given an initial diagnosis of dmdd I researched it and it's really only found in children and adolescents. I believe I have bipolar disorder and asked my therapist if she thought I had it she said she didn't know enough about me yet to give this diagnosis. I guess I just don't understand how I'm initially diagnosed with dmdd and will it turn into a bipolar disorder diagnosis?
I'm not saying your therapist should have had a concrete answer for you, but she sure as hell should have given you SOMETHING more than "I don't know you well enough!" I strongly suggest you find a new therapist with much better qualifications!
