Misdiagnosed?

jpslayne posted:

Ok, I am a current schizophrenia patient. I have been going to a new counsellor for my treatment while on my medication. They ask me my symptoms and then tell me that i am not schizophrenic. they claim i may have been misdiagnosed but at the same time i fit around 65% of the symptoms. What could be the problem here i wish i could per se know what the heck is wrong with me to where i can live a more stable life and to be a better parent to my son. Any advice/input on this situation. As a heads up i have not exactly let them into my delusions due to the medications actually letting me have moments of claritry. however i have had a plan set up on paper for the last 6 years on how to rule the world by a non violent means and how to achieve this goal.

I can only say that when I reveal my psych issues to my therapist/s, doctor/s, groups, etc, I feel better because they are able to help me stay grounded.

I hope you have a mental health team you can trust, and that you can tell them everything.
