How often our physical symptoms are diagnosed as mental?

Hi there, I got unwell as a teen and was strictly pushed to psychiatrists, nobody reconized that I suffer from PCOS, TMAU, Fetal alcohol syndrom, Graves Disease ans bullying everywere I was.

Psychiatrists diagnoset me with OCD, depression, schizotype and borderline. They even saw me as pre-schizophrenic because I was so unlucky and angry about my relatives who didn't helped me and said I should accept my ill apperance as I am.

The Psychiatrists never did any checkups and wanted me to take antidepressants while my real problems were ignored.

I never took them and I've been happier since I got to a endocrinologist who saw my problems as hormonal and organic and treats them now as it should be. But sadly because of the mistreatment, my eyes are swollen and I need orbital decompression operation to look like me.
