I've been mis diagnosed with Schizophrenia at 20, at 22 I contracted pre diabetes type-2, at 25 I had my gallbladder removed, I have everyone undermining me as being Schizophrenic, but i'm the only person that's known I am wrong diagnosed for the last 7 years, I also have them newly undermining me as MAYBE being autistic that I am also not either
I was misdiagnosed. I was hospitalized 48 times due to it and I have to pay a forensic psychiatrist to clear my name and prevent further hospitalizations. It is insane. I have to put myself in front of another psychiatrist when that is what hurt me in the first place.
im sorry that they did this to you i can relate to this comment but your case is terrible i just hope your ok
Something is not right when a client fails to improve or gets worse due to the prescribed treatment. It highly suggests misdiagnosis, a very common occurrence in psychiatry. Unfortunately a lot of clinicians fail to recognize this and blame their clients for not getting better.
An official diagnosis after one 50 minute appointment should be questioned especially if it is a personality disorder.
completely agree about misdiagnosis, but it frequently happens because psychiatry n the DSM is not based on anything measurable nor fact, just opinion which differs, so go to different psychiatrists with the same symptoms and you get labeled with different conditions based on the psychiatrists ignorance, arrogance, prejudice, discrimination, bias, etc, and treatments do not cure, there is no factual evidence to prove they do, they just mask symptoms.
50 minutes? I got diagnosed with anxiety at 15 minutes, medication failed to help, went to a psychiatrist just to get a higher dosage.
Exactly. 15 minutes. Diagnosed with mania (because of the way I move) and thought disorder (positive symptom) = schizoaffective. Neuroleptic.
Didn't know what the diagnosis meant, was like, well, I don't hear voices or have hallucinations or psychosis... maybe it's wrong. And when I questioned it, they said I was hiding symptoms and it's typical to not accept the diagnose, so they took my disagreeing as proof for this "disorder".
I later found out, I have autism and kicked everybody out of my life, who has anything to do with mental health care. That's typical for my "disorder": mass firing people who lie, gaslight and betray others. 😂
Freaking 15 minutes and those drugs completely derailed my life for half a year. And the damage to the nervous system lasted much longer... Thank you psychiatry for nothing.
No, not 50 minutes...
Stay away from this trashy profession!
The problem with diagnosis is that is requirement for insurance. Lots of psychiatrists might have to give certain diagnosis to prescribe certain medications that is covered by insurance or simply just have the treatment covered by insurance.
Yep, and I think that's called insurance fraud.
I think the main reason for misdiagnosis is therapists thinking their job is to collect symptoms. I think establishing a therapeutic relationship should come first. The diagnosis can wait. It should wait. Otherwise there will be misunderstandings, hurtful words, and ultimately you'll have missed the point entirely. But that takes time and open-mindedness and empathy. Not a given.
Let me add that the most helpful words I've heard from a psychiatrist were ''I don't know right now'', ''let's treat the issue that bothers you and then we'll see''
A psychiatrist misdiagnosed me with schizoaffective disorder not knowing that I had actually been experiencing prolonged effects of ingesting toxic mushrooms that I had mistaken for halucinogenic mushrooms. as a result I was forced into a mental health facility for a few months even though my symptoms ceased after two weeks. I was also forced to take multiple different antipsychotics and anti depressants before they would let me leave. these drugs gave me panic attacks and depression. also while I was still experiencing delusions from the mushrooms, they convinced me in my semi-coherent state to undergo electroshock therapy which left me with memory deficits and other negative cognitive effects.. overall I had a pretty horrible experience from this misdiagnosis and have come to the conclusion that this whole "treatment" approach needs to be managed in a radically different way..
I have severe mental problems and I have been misdiagnosed more than 10 times in 30 years.
I was diagnosed as psychotic when I reported domestic violence. I disagreed and the doctor's response was to state that I was schizophrenic. The exchange took place during a meeting with two of his team present. I was never screened, but I did learn I have a bad reaction to . My abuser gleaned this information and weaponized it. It was a medical misdiagnosis with life threatening consequences and there's a legal term for that.
Thank you for covering this topic. I was verbally abused as a child since fifth grade and during my freshman year of high school I was physically and sexually abused. I was a very afraid sixteen year old during the child sexual abuse. I got away from my abuser at the end of my freshman year of high school. My mother right away got me into therapy with a child psychologist who diagnosed me with adjustment disorder. I stayed with the child psychologist till I graduated high school. Even after the initial two years after my sexual abuse ended I still felt hyper vigilant, afraid my abusive dad would come to sexually abuse me, I was afraid of men and refused to talk to any men, had night terrors, flashbacks, and I avoided cities where some of my child verbal abuse happened. Two years after the adjustment disorder was diagnosed that was still my diagnosis. I even told my child psychologist about the child verbal abuse and I did describe the child sexual abuse but never called any of the child verbal, physical or sexual abuse as abuse. She never in the three years after the child sexual abuse ended ever report it. I continued to suffer these symptoms throughout college and almost had to drop out of college with how bad the symptoms are. It wasn’t till after I graduated college that in 2021 I got a new psychologist and was diagnosed with PTSD from child sexual abuse and by the time I was diagnosed I was raped by my first boyfriend and developed PTSD from the rape. During my rape I felt that I was reliving through my child sexual abuse. The reliving felt so real like I was back there and it was reality. When I finally broke out of it I realized I was still being raped my ex. I can’t say how hard it has been being misdiagnosed and mistreated. It saddens me how so many other people fall through the cracks and are misdiagnosed.
I was misdiagnosed with depression when I was 12. That was dangerous because I wasn't receiving treatment for bipolar 1 disorder and schizophrenia. The treatment caused me to develop serotonin syndrome. Misdiagnosis can be dangerous.
Doctors abuse their power and dx with a more lucrative Dx.
I don’t know if I have something other than anxiety but I get anxiety everyday so I’m pretty sure I have anxiety
give it love and attention
Where do I go to get som
I had been following Sammi Grimm's UA-cam channel, and if I remember correctly, She was recently re-diagnosed with BPD and bipolar 2 after switching a couple therapists.
This is a bit misleading. Yes, we read about conditions online and self report them, but why is she so quick to discount that? Many adults with ADHD self diagnose before receiving official diagnosis. There's a balance between doctor knows best and patient is the expert on themselves.
ADHD is also one of the most misdiagnosed conditions. Like she said, most of the time, the things that are more readily available online have a higher chance of misdiagnoses. There is a lot of overlap in so many conditions that the person might be unaware of.
There is also an element where some of us find it interesting and go down a rabbit hole thinking that could be us even though the reality of it is our mind just got fixated on something we find interesting or intriguing
was mis diagnosed with treatment resistant scizophrenia when really had hypothyroidism .the treatment resistance beihg because it was a misdiagnoses and the more psychotic meds the worse the thyroid got was put on clozapine and now 18 years later docs still refuse to take me off psychotic meds even though they know i was bborn with hypothyroid gene..the answer from the psychiatrist was he knew nothing abbout hypothyroidism he was a mental health doctor not a physical health doctor but still wouldnt drop the antipsychotic meds
I'm diagnosed Schizoaffective disorder, bipolar type, PTSD, Borderline personality.. as well as a few "symptoms" related to those i.e. major depression, generalized anxiety, panic attacks, agoraphobia, substance use etc... I have tried 25+ medications... one time I did testing like that.. 4 tests over a 2-3 day period... still believe I might could drop one of those diagnoses.. just don't feel like I need all those... so much overlap though.. I wish mental illness could be tested like other diseases/ disorders
I got lucky with anxiety, depression, and ADHD. The depression and ADHD for me genuinely are imbalances of serotonin and dopamine that are usually improved with medication targeting those systems. The anxiety seems massively more complicated than this, and anxiety seems to be more like a symptom of something more complicated than an actual condition I have, but I’ve never been able to get therapy for longer than 3 months at a time…
Can you please do a video on bipolar disorder that's my diagnosis. Also I've been diagnosed with anxiety, PTSD,
I’m not sure what is going on!? My wife who is 74 saw a neuropsychologist 3 years ago for exams for possible mild cognitive impairment. The first one said I needed to contact a lawyer and that I was in trouble, second one said that she only had adjustment disorder unspecified, and the cnp at the practice neurologist office said she had mild cognitive impairment. I asked her to explain the discrepancies in the three. She looked at her notes and said that she misread the notes and pulled the diagnosis from our pcp. I’ve gone through a lot of emotional pain because of this. Obviously there’s quite a bit more background history but I’ve ended up feeling like I’ve made up my observations and am afraid. Help should I be going somewhere else and how do I find someone who’s better at diagnosis?

Go somewhere else. Prayers coming.
i feel like i’ve been mis diagnosed because i forgot to share some other symptoms i was having.
My therapeutic treatment seemed rushed and nonsensical, even though I kept saying I didn't have the symptoms that were being described =\
I made one last appointment with her and she described me as having dependent traits (indecisiveness, trouble making decisions on my own, avoiding taking responsibility, always seeking someone else for reassurance or to do things for me). This really doesn't fit, I'm known for being 'headstrong', nearly to the point of being impervious to other people's opinions, I always wanna do things by myself and my own way, I almost don't socialize and I tend to push away the people who I do have a relationship with from time to time, completely cutting communication off (which makes people pissed, but I see this as their problem, not mine). I have schizoid traits, and I had already told her that, but apparently she didn't take it seriously at all.
Talk about a waste of time, money, and patience, but it is what it is, can't get any of that back.
They certainly are not immune to cognitive biases. They will 'see' things that are not there because of the influence of first impression. It lingers & it's economical or easier, psychologically, & saving face, if they don't change their initial belief. 🙂 Another explanation is that they are just being lazy or having issues of their own. 🙂
I’ve been misdiagnosed by the Va. they told me back in 2006 that I had schizophrenia, then a few years later they said I had schizotypal personality disorder. Now within the last year my psychiatrist thinks I have Asperger’s. All the while I’m on geodon and Paxil. My dr now is worried to see what would happen if I got off the antipsychotics. So now I’m stuck on these meds probably for the rest of my life.
I don’t even know if there’s help for me to get off of antipsychotics.
Google for Ashton manual or Mark Horowitz. Those drugs have to be tapered hyperbolical. You will probably have to teach your psychiatrist (they usually don't know how to do it, and could cause withdrawal injuries). I highly recommend to lead the tapering and if the withdrawal symptoms are too much, to stop a few weeks with tapering down, until the brain has adjusted.
The way I was diagnosed was super rushed I was diagnosed with depression but I experience things like random heightened energy and grandiose thoughts and fast pace thoughts and speech also intrusive thoughts. I’ve been on Lexapro and Prozac but they both did nothing
Has anyone mentioned adhd
Maybe bipolar
I hope this finds you well. I was diagnosed with depression long before I got the correct diagnosis of bipolar 1 disorder. It's a process and it took me finding a psychiatrist and a therapist who would listen to me.
If a person takes medication for mental health issues but doesn't have a mental illness what is the side effect of the medication
Um, well which medication? There are hundreds of different mental health issues and thousands of different medications. If you're asking about abusing drugs you weren't prescribed, then, yes, that can be dangerous. If you're asking about taking drugs that WERE prescribed to you but you don't actually think you have the issue that the meds were prescribed for then you need to check in with your doctor and discuss why you think the diagnosis is wrong, so they can reevaluate your meds.
It depends on a lot of things. If you take SSRI, and you're not depressed, you will probably gain weight and be a little less excited about everything. Some things you can get high on, but you're probably more likely to get some problems with your digestion.
massive weight gain which causes diabetes.

@@whatsreallyinvaccineshealt756 it is mainly because you finally have the energy/motivation to do things again. If the thing you want to do is suicidal…you now have the energy/motivation
Can you please do more on eating disorders?
I wish I could find help.
just because a person is psychiatrist dont mean the person is not a liar or not a bad person im sure there are psychiatrist that purposely misdiagnose people
My hyperthyroidism got misdiagnosed as psychosis.
Psychological abuse or intimate partner abuse with the use of children as weapons.... Is there any videos out there that could help me with diagnosing this? :-)
😂 The only reason psychiatry exists is to cover up abuse and diagnose reactions to abuse... so, nope, there won't be any diagnose for that.
She is so thorough.
misdiagnosis happens frequently because a huge amount of psychiatric claims are just describing normal patterns of human nature and (obviously) pretending they're not normal. Not to say there's not legitimate examples of psychiatric illness, schizophrenia for example, but there is no chemical imbalance, ALL psychiatric illnesses are issues-related (PTSD). Many claims of psychiatric conditions are flat out made up stating things that are either normal patterns of human behavior, something that would only be mildly unusual only based on the situation or claims based on made up ideas that ignore its incompatibility to reality (for example, avoidant personality disorder doesn't exist, people are everywhere and require each other for survival, food, water, etc, therefore there is no avoiding people). At the end of the day psychiatry is damn close to pure illusion. It is a sham designed to criminalize enlightenment by calling it crazy (someone's waking up to the holographic coding structure of the world is called derealization, someone dissolves the ego to an actualized persona is referred to as depersonalizaton, etc), a sham designed to support the establishments interests and keep society in line to the establishments expectations and it is a scam to get money (psychoanalyst sessions, the psychiatric drugs sold by big pharma). Not only does psychiatry cause more damage than help, it often has the opposite results to stabilizing the public and will likely play its part in the collapse of the structure of society as a whole. And when psychiatry is left in the wake of the dust....good riddance.
finally someone said it
@@Cos3D yes. Unfortunately being ballsy enough to state the valid input doesn't mean others reading it themselves are going to be brave enough to acknowledge it. Most people, it's going to fall on deaf ears. The courage went for nothing.
this happens alot
The prime base of the prescription given by psychiatrist is what patient is telling. No proper testing such as BP, sugar or HB. If you don't find any physically don't prescribe physical medicines. If questionire is oral, then treatment also should be CBT or by counseling. Don't just push patients on overdose of medicines.
If someone is going through a long rough patch and decides to take anti-depressants without actually having major depressive disorder, can the anti-depressants take off the edge?

Hi Medcircle, Matt here. Just wondering I have a loved one who I believe has been misdiagnosed (he "CALLS" himself "schizophrenic), but have seen a DEMONIC SIDE TO ZYPREXA, Olanzipine in his demeanor. Just wondering has anyone else or is anyone else in their family going through something like what our family is going through? Feel free to comment about this on my comments if you like. Want to know if any other family worldwide is going through similar issues as we are in our household here in NZ.
Matt
Diagnosis is to lead to effective treatment.
Hope this information helps you like it's helped me :-)
Her hair and makeup is beautiful
Baloney. The bit about patients being a factor in causing their own misdiagnosis by researching their symptoms and bringing their concerns to their GP or psychiatrist is a blame shift.... Research has shown that patients average about 7 minutes of facetime with their doctors.
Her opinion that patients throw their doctors off by bringing in their concerns is full of bias, and based on no objective empirical examination. If she wanted to run such a study, it wouldn't be hard and would do far more than just insisting it's likely factor.
Publications have proven that shorter assessments and facetime with patients is more likely to point to an inadequate assessment by Doctors. There is no industry support provided so that Doctors can use appropriate time to gather an entire picture and patient history, and provide adequate patient teaching... I cannot tell you the number of times a psychiatrist hasn't utilized the ROIs I provided, and therefore missed a history of elevated prolactin before they start making their medication recommendations... I've never had a psychiatrist ask if I've had my thyroid checked, or ever ask if I've had a neuro assessment. I've even had psychiatrists wrongly claim I wouldn't be a candidate for Lupron, and would have great trouble finding anyone who would prescribe it (while sitting on an ROI that would have verified this was actually the recommendation of my Gyno's next course of action that I had held off on).
Reliability of psychiatric diagnosis and treatment plans varies wildly since the DSM5 loosened definitions at the detriment to construct validity, with many patients reporting that new psychiatrists recommended new treatment plans, even when the previous treatment plan had been efficacious... or getting new diagnoses when no new symptoms occured. Again... a relatively easy research design could bring this to light so that it wouldn't just be "anecdotal" patient reports of a total breakdown in medical integrity.
The patient payment sunshine act revealed that over half of our providers have accepted payments from pharmaceutical manufacturers, exposing an alarming conflict of interest... as research has shown that even payments like dinners and meals have influenced provider's prescribing patterns.
An Australian reporter did a pilot study surveying patients of a clinic asking two questions, "Did your doctor describe how the medication he prescribed works" and "Did you receive education on side effects", over half of the patients said No to both. The psychiatric community responded by criticizing the small sample from just one clinic, and the likelihood of patient's memory error. However, does psychiatry have any research designs to back it's repeated defensive claims that the majority of psychiatrists work closely with patients and appropriately assess underlying health conditions that may mimic mental health disorders, and whether patients have been provided quality patient teaching and fully informed consent? It's not the patient's responsibility to improve patient teaching, and if current methods of patient teaching fall short, it's the doctors that need to find better methods.
A patient is not just a passive receiver of services. They're a central part of their medical team because they're the ones who will wind up following through with referrals and treatment recommendations as well as follow-up. There's a higher likelihood that patient's will miss bringing something up in an assessment, rather than providing too much information because again... the average facetime with providers is 7 minutes. You have more patients researching their symptoms, because the field of medicine refuses to validate a growing concern in the population that doctor's are not taking the time to carefully listen, compare with records from other specialists and examine the patient's full treatment history.
Rather than speculate, this woman should be basing her response on what research has found to be the likely factors in misdiagnosis, as well as where there is a need for further investigation due to limitations... Instead her lack of objective professionalism when she speculates that misdiagnosis is something the patients cause doctors to do, strikes as an abuse of power, to dismiss legitimate patient concerns and abuse her authority to frame a different context. That the majority of providers want to do a good job diagnosing, and therefore could only misdiagnose if they give the patient too much credibility, or worse yet... That misdiagnosis is a natural evolution towards truth, and therefore nobody's fault. As if it should be naturally assumed that doctors have the education and authority to provide an accurate 7 minute assessment. While I'd say it'd be generously providing the benefit of doubt if we assumed that the majority of psychiatrist's are utilizing objective measures supported by research to have good validity and reliability, rather than a verbal rundown of symptoms. A human measure is the least accurate measure, correct?
With authority and power comes greater accountability, but only if patients have the means to hold authority accountable. Research has shown that if anything the majority of patients that could have sued a provider for a lack of informed consent, malfeasance, medical neglect etc... actually did not sue! Lord help the patient who experienced patients rights violations in their past and enters a new provider relationship informed, as an informed patient frequently risks being pathologized as "resistant".
When did doctors begin to grant themselves the authority to excuse their own accountability? Ah, it was when "patient consumers" had limited ability to "shop around" for quality providers, limited means to pursue legal compensation, frequent changes in insurance disrupting treatment plans, and when healthcare corporations became such wealthy tyrants that they could gaslight the lot of us and say without shame "66% of members in the DSM5 approval board with direct financial relationships with pharmaceutical companies does not present a conflict of interest", when yes the gaslighting F it does...
well said, she wants to blame the patient when it it the psychiatrist whom is at fault.
@@mooncatandberyl5372 oh, I forgot I wrote this a year back. (I added some paragraph breaks, my bad lol).
Sadly, watching the medical malfeasance multiply exponentially with Boston Children’s Hospital leaning on WPATH’s trans standard of care which collaborated with Eunuch Archives (an organization which hosted erotica featuring forced child castration fetish, child snuff, and bdsm). WPATH even tried to assert in that SoC document that Eunuch was a gender identity rather than a historically exploited & abused class! The medical and tech funders of the synthetic sex ID market are curb stomping ethics, and testing the limits of digital censorship and virtually cultivated marketing narratives.
Media is attempting to silence women and LGB who are speaking out.
I’ve already seen patients share their accounts of having reproductive organs removed as minors, and an adult women who was greenlighted for a mastectomy during a manic episode… even when they had her history of bipolar and she was exhibiting clear indications of mania. Two states in the US allow minors to access “gender care” without a parent’s knowledge and same states passed laws allowing schools to keep the child’s self ID a secret from parents. My own state’s department of education had teacher trainings recommending to keep the student self ID a secret, & refused to clarify. I reached out to my local school board, and they also will not clarify their policy.
Stunned! Boston children’s hospital confirmed via phone recording that they will perform hysterectomies as “gender affirmation” care for minors. Sabotaging children’s reproductive rights when they cannot consent. I’ve also read lies put out by providers claiming the reversibility of puberty blockers. Boston children’s hospital even had hysterectomy advertised along with a program called “HOTT”, where adult men would teach minor boys to tuck with medical tape.
Psychiatry is profitably grifting features of autism, dysmorphia, delusion, and dissociation now… while green lighting conversion history on repeat. At the time I wrote this, I had no idea how much darker this era of psychiatry was.
Mainstream is starting to become aware of what’s been happening. When the eugenic culling finally stops, and desisters begin to sue, I fully expect the medical industry to repeat this woman’s excuse making & blame shift to patients ad nauseam. They will claim misdiagnosis is part of the journey to accurate diagnosis.
Profitably grifting a journey.
I just made a similar comment. Stopped watching at 5 minutes but wanted to read comments.
confirmation bias and gaslighting occurs alot, misdiagnosis occurs alot, virtually every team ive seen have diagnosed me with something different from the other teams, i dont think anyone really knows what I got coz they all give me a different diagnosis, my advice to anyone is, if you can afford it, go see a psychologist not a psychiatrist, most medication just masks the symptoms, is not a cure, and does not deal with the cause, psychologists deal more with the cause and psychologists are not interested in labeling you with an illness, they are more interested in treating you as an individual person, psychiatrist view you as a type of person, because you have x condition, you will act in x way, you need x medication, and they ignore everything that does not fit into their confirmation bias and gaslighting manipulations. MOst of the DSM is just made up opinion, not based on science and cannot be tested, proved, verified, etc, you get a diagnosis based on one persons opinion, not fact. Psychologists are better because they listen to everything you say, but you get out what you put in, you have to do some work yourself.
I think I have MS but they diagnose me with schizophrenia. My first symptom were headaches.
I diagnosed by schizophrenia due to wrong symptoms told by my toxic parents just to keep me in their control. And that hospital gave me different types of medicine and they tried to loot money. But suffering person is me now. Waiting for death as gift.

Psych dignosis can be used as a weapon against a person. Its very dangerous and this needs to be brought to attention by professionals, considering there are lots of confusions in many people alike without properly considering outside parties (potentially sociopaths and highly manipulative people) who are aware of the weight of the system and tsctics to use this against their target.
