16 years and by my primary care

I’ve basically had it my whole life, just used the words “shy” and “quiet” as a kid. When I was 16 I went to a pediatrician and he saw how my mood was and recommended psychiatry.

my primary care doctor diagnosed me in about a month (maybe less) because I wasn't able to find a therapist but my anxiety was becoming severe rapidly so I really needed meds because it was unbearable and I was having attacks every day

My anxiety is triggered by hormone imbalance, ADHD and poor gut health. Usually best to find what is happening behind the panic attacks

i was diagnosed very young since i've always been in therapy

I went to a psychiatrist and he diagnosed me in 1997. My family dr told me I was just stressed 🤦🏻‍♀️

I was diagnosed a few times with major depression since I was 13. When I was 26, I was diagnosed with PTSD despite talking to my previous therapist about my constant nightmares and triggers. I have gone through many therapists and finally have found one I like and trust.

To be very honest it is hard for me to remember but I believe I was diagnosed by a neurologist when I was 8 but I had symptoms and went to therapy at the age of 5.

Since I was 6 and got diagnosed at 21 by a psychiatrist

I was able to see one within a few weeks of being referred to by my doctor. I dont know if its necessary but it does help to have a doctors referral.

I started dealing with severe anxiety and depression when I was about 5 years old, after many traumatic abuse incidents, which was 13 years ago. I tried to hide it the best I could, and my parents didn't really care about my mental health. So I never talked about it with a doctor until I turned 18. I was diagnosed by a psychiatrist with Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Panic Disorder, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Major Depressive Disorder, Borderline Personality Disorder, Anorexia, and Social Anxiety Disorder in March 2021.

I lived with severe anxiety before being diagnosed after 19 years.
