Heavy institutionalization has anyone experienced diagnostic problems due to this dilemma and treatment to their seizure disorder.
In terms of supposing to have major
Mental illness from all the major categories and suspected to have
Hypochondria ,malingering, attention Seeker and either a mono or poly substance abuser.
Interested in how it mite have affected ones interactions with medical professionals.
 
Once you get suspected of malingering/hypochondria/Münchhausen syndrome etc- it can be very difficult to get treatment for anything.

Being a substance abuser doesn't usually have an effect on your case though- med professionals see them every day- you just won't be issued with high strength opioids, if you're an opiate abuser etc
