Is there a possibility that one can be diagnosed with several disorders that seem to be linked to each other or is the doctor just making money off me? I think that all my diagnosis are tied to a deep-seeded issue that I have not resolved, just a thought.

Thank you for your question and welcome to AnxietyConnection.com.
It is certainly possible to be diagnosed with more than one disorder, often with overlapping symptoms.
You can have more than one type of anxiety, for example, someone can have social anxiety disorder and also have different phobias or you can have anxiety along with other mental disorders, such as bipolar or depression.
Many times there are overlapping symptoms which can make it difficult to diagnose. Treatment usually begins with the diagnosis that is causing the most interference in your daily life.
I hope this helps.
