What other co-morbidity do you have

Depression

Severe General Anxiety Disorder

  • Social anxiety is the main comorbid issue now. I have alexithymia, but I'm not sure that counts as a separate diagnosis to autism or just a manifestation of it.

    During my years/decades of burnout, I was severely depressed. At one point, the depression manifested as IBS. I do still get depressed days, but not enough to count as clinical depression, thankfully (being depressed most days for a fortnight). I also had OCD for a while, but it's mostly under control now.

    There's also some tremor as a side-effect of the maintenance dose of psych meds that I'm on.
