Are there statistics on misdiagnoses?

Posted by Squiggles on August 14, 2007, at 9:43:47

I still have issues about unmedicated depression,
but this case i am following may just turn out to
be a miracle; so far so good. I would like to be able to talk about it with a dr. but because it is not my case, there is the matter of confidentiality.
So, it's a wait and see thing. I'm concerned about relapse but it hasn't happened-- amazing. It has been about 6 months off the AD. Monitoring is taking place and a hand-out test for self-monitoring.
What I would like to find out is how many cases have been documented of a misdiagnosis only to be discovered after the AD is withdrawn.
Any leads, stories, personal accounts, would be much appreciated.
