Sure thing!

I began therapy as I was involved in an emotionally and mentally abusive relationship. I had many accusations thrown at me throughout the course of my relationship that left me questioning my memory of certain events and left me in question of my own sanity at times. I insisted that I be tested for mental disorders even though my therapist did not feel it was needed. I was tested and interviewed extensively and the results are in: I have no mental illness/personality disorders.

No personality disorder(s) but I do have "mild to moderate depression". Hell- I didn't need a test to figure THAT part out! My therapist said that given my relationship history I'm in remarkably good shape.

What a relief!

My depression is lifting as of late and thus far I have chosen to not take any anti-depressants. I had been considering it but as I said I'm doing MUCH better these days.

I feel like I have a new lease on life!

I hope I answered your question. If you have any other questions feel free.
