Question about Panic Disorder Diagnosis

Postby Foxranger » Tue Dec 27, 2011 8:02 pm

Hi! I was wondering if there was a way to reverse a diagnosis of panic disorder. I was diagnosed at 16 upon seeing a therapist (social worker) for around six months until I cut ties. I was never made aware of this diagnosis until I had a family member call just recently to check if I was diagnosed with anything (i'm 20 now) and they said panic disorder. I was also medicated during the time of therapy as well. I feel I was misdiagnosed here, I'm no expert by any means but have taken three classes in college to see what I could learn. None of what I have learned about panic disorder applies to me. I do not have panic attacks ever and never have, I used to get pretty nervous as a kid but never to the point where it was debilitating and It has really faded since then, I barely get nervous and its very manageable. Essentially what I'm asking here is can I get reevaluated and get this taken away. any and all help is appreciated.

P.S. There is much more to this story but this is the short version, if more info is required I will be more than happy to discuss in a PM conversation.

Hi, Foxranger! You could definitely ask your regular doctor to send you to a psych so that you can be reevaluated. It's great that things are better for you now!
