Interview with Alicia, a Cushing's Message Board member who is still testing.

Alicia writes "Around the end of my Junior year, probably one of the worst things that could have happened during my 8 years of illness happened, I had severe psychiatric symptoms at school, including psychosis, and was put on a “students in crisisâ€? plan and sent home for a little while.  Being diagnosed as a “psych patientâ€? would delay my diagnosis for years, most doctors just considered me "crazy."

Items covered include what happened to make Alicia realize she was sick; psychiatric diagnosis; symptoms did you have; how the "psychiatric symptoms" were actually symptoms of Cushing’s, too, and how that affects those who are trying to get help with this disease; and more.
