Do I Have All Those Diagnoses?

QUESTION:

Dr. Heller,

Hi, I  am a 20 y/o female recently diagnosed with Bi-polar Disorder.  When I looked at your test at the homepage, I could answer yes to most of the questions, all but three.  Does that mean that I have ALL those things wrong with me???

ANSWER:

Absolutely.  There’s no reason they can’t all be present.  Having the OCPD is actually an advantage because these people tend to be motivated.  You’ll need to see if all those diagnoses are present, and get them all treated.
