Thank you for responding and telling me isolation is not a diagnosis. I never thought or imagined it as being one. Isolated sounds phony to me.
The social worker is someone at the Jewish Community Services. She is quite older. I see her as labeling me as isolated based on my childhood. My peers would not associate with me after I began having seizures. I was rather isolated then. Now friends accept me for who I am and I no longer live in a small town with small minded people. I only have one close friend now. I have many casual friends. She gave that diagnosis to my new therapist about me so she could treat me based on it. Does this social worker think disabled persons are disabled? Whatever it is very disturbing because I am NOT isolated! I wish my new therapist had never shown me the diagnosis that my old therapist gave me.

You have done a very good job and fully answered my question. I didn't think there was or could be such a diagnosis as isolation. My current counselor only knows the diagnosis seems puzzled and knows nothing about my childhood and my isolation then. She asks weekly if I feel isolated. The next time she asks I will need to respond as Ginger said and I will also need to say that was only in childhood.
