New here, obviously :P

My name's [mod edit], I'll be 28 next month and I'm from the [mod edit]
I'm not prescribed nor have I ever been prescribed medication for any of these. Mostly due to fear and not wanting to deal with certain issues. But I'm slowly gaining acceptance of my issues and seeking help.
I have heard that a few of the disorders I've listed can be all inclusive; i.e., body dysmorphia can come paired with anxiety, depression, etc. Which I believe to be true. I was diagnosed as a child with ADD and it was confirmed to me as an adult. I self-diagnosed my OCD symptoms as well as BDD. The OCD is apparent in my compulsive patterns and routines I indulge in on a daily basis. My therapist believes my suspicions that I have BDD to be plausible, given everything I've shared with him.
Anyway, I'm rambling. I'm thankful I found this forum and I hope this will add to my knowledge and further my process in dealing with all of this.

Ask your therapist to give you a referral to a psychiatrist for a full evaluation.
