I saw a therapist a week or two ago, diagnosed me with depression, she mentioned personality disorder and wrote pdd down. what does this mean?

See below: Usually pdd in the psychiatry world means pervasive developmental disorder. This includes diseases on the autism spectrum. You will have to ask the therapist if she means something else.

ask: Therapy is the perfect opportunity to ask what was meant. An open dialogue works best. It could mean a lot of different things. Ask. Be proactive. It will help your therapy.
