Since then, I have been prescribed a plethera of drugs and have gone through so much pain and loss because of beleiving this for so long.. Eventually I got sick of Being sick and took myself off everything and have had the most wonderful life.... Does this mean I was misdiagnosed?..or just simply "got over it?"

I think back then you must have told the doctors the different symptoms you were experiencing. From what you told them, they came up with different diagnoses.
I am happy to hear you stopped taking medications.
You must have a very good support network that is there for you. Best Wishes and I hope you continue to do well.
got over it! good to hear!
you got over it...I'm happy for you.
Maybe both. It is hard to tell. You must have had problems back then to go and seek help, so something was wrong. Don't dwell on that. Enjoy your life. It is good to know people can get better.
You still have it, but now you you are curing it. It being happy! Look at the up sides!
Trust me, you are getting better, I can tell!
( I am a doctor)
This doesnt mean u were misdiganosed. You totally just got over it! Probably when u were really depressed and the doctors gave u the meds u really needed them! It is good to hear that u doint need them anymore! How long have u been off them? If it has only been a month or two u may still be depressed. Sometimes depression is on and off. However, if it has been a long time then congragulations! Just keep on the look out for the dep. signs! It may still come back! :) <3
Doctors believe that depression is a symptomatic problem we do not believe that when some one is diagnosed with depression they will be depressed their whole lives. Things like bi-polar and ADHD and OCD do not tend to go away so easily, these types of illnesses are usually hereditary. 15 yrs ago was quite a while ago and the mind is a very strong tool for us it could be possible that you have worked through some issues you were having and it maybe very likely that you have been misdiagnosed in other categories simply by not testing you well enough, or not getting to see you in enough physiological visits.
Wow, sounds like a mis-diagnosed. I don't think that with those type of disorders, you can just "get over it". Thats not so great that you had to go through hell, but awesome that you feel better. Good luck!!
I did the same thing and thought everything was okay,went on a major high in life for 5 months,then had a major crash {low} now I am back on meds and have been diagnosed as bi polar. So you be very careful, if things start to change go see your doc right away. I was ready to end my life after the 5 month high and I am glad I went back to see my doc, because my meds have brought me back to enjoying life once again.
