AIBU to think iv not been told about about this diagnosis

[Sneezygrumpydopey]

So I gave along history of being up and down seeking mental health support
im
on pathway for adhd assessment

i called mh services today ro discuss my concern I may have bipolar to be told that 10 years ago I was referred to a team that support those with personality disorder which suggests I have that

but I was never told this at the time so so I have personality disorder?

Well, none of us are on your MH team so we won't know.

I guess you just have to ... ring your MH team? You won't find any peace asking a load of randoms on Mumsnet.

That must be horrible, though - I hope you get things sorted soon and best wishes.

I did and they don’t know they just said well you were referred to the team so maybe you are but n written diagnosis

And I’m asking a bunch of ransoms as someone may have similar experience or knowledge. I guess pretty much why others post too?

You don't know what has changed in the administration in the last 10 years. It could easily be that you were referred to XYZ team, which ten years ago was the team which supported anyone who was ND, bipolar, PD, anxiety, and now is the team which exclusively supports PD.

It could be that there was a query over a PD and you were referred either to confirm or rule out.

It could be that it's a wrong record.

The only way to find out is through a subject access request.

You can ask for a copy of your medical records.
Please could some posters stop putting iv rather than I’ve.
It’s really confusing.

If you’re waiting for an adhd assessment and you’ve previously been referred to a personality disorder team (even if it was without your knowledge or consent!), have you considered that you might be autistic?

I think you need to ask your current team to assess you, rather than try to get to the bottom of what happened ten years ago.

I would just wait and see.

A lot has changed in the past 10 years, too. Many women who were previously diagnosed with borderline personality disorder, for example, have since been diagnosed with ADHD. We know so much more about how it presents in women now.

It’s certainly irritating if nothing was communicated to you though.

How does that follow?

Autistic women are often misdiagnosed as having BPD. ADHD and autism are often overlapping diagnoses.

It was called the intensive management of personality disorders and clinical therapies team

No not until now lol - is there reasoning around this?

Yeah im
going to ask but the tewm
i just called have said just go on medication it’s been a nightmare trying to get the right help
