Also..at least in my experience, its not only harder to deal with the diagnosis when you are young, but its harder to actually get the diagnosis. The doctor looks at you and thinks you're young and just fine. They had me seeing psychiatrists because they didn't think I was really in as much pain as I claimed.
They had you see psychiatrists because your illness didn't fit any box that they knew. It had nothing to do with your age, gender, level of education or even your behavior. It had nothing to do with you. It was their way of dealing with their own frustration.
