Throwaway for obvious reasons.
I live in Germany. I have been diagnosed with a moderate major depressive disorder for 3 years now and likely additionally have some of the following: ADHD, social anxiety, OCD, insomnia…
But mainly, I almost definitely struggle with autism, BPD, or both. I have read some studies and a literature review. Unfortunately, there is little research on the differences and potentially comorbidity, if it even exists.
I have had different licensed professionals express, with relatively strong confidence, that I have one and not the other – both ways.
I am now searching for an institution or professional that, while diagnoses are obviously separate, considers the alternative option and, tho likely not officially, can provide more details on whether my diagnosis is mainly based on shared, or separate symptoms.
I haven't found any institution nor professional that both considers the two illnesses and is officially recognized. Does anyone know where or how I could find that?
Feel free to ask for any further clarification and thanks for your patience and consideration.
