Misdiagnosed (?) Anonymous 12/03/15 (Thu) 20:14:23 No.12419

I think I'm misdiagnosed with schizophrenia.

I only have the negative symptoms (though very severely).

I also hear my 'own voice' in my head, it's my own self controlled voice. This was according to the professor who diagnosed me enough to qualify as auditory hallucination but I'd disagree with that.

I've (thankfully) never had real psychosis.

I've also never had catatonia , or disorganized behavior/thinking, or delusions.

Now I'm gonna get treatment for schizophrenia. And I don't think I have this. I need help though with the problems I actually have but the professor is retired now and I don't know what to do. No psych is gonna undo a diagnosis of a professor.

>No psych is gonna undo a diagnosis of a professor.

I don't think that just because he has a higher title, they're going to assume his word over contradictory evidence. Misdiagonses happen, it's harder to get right than physical problems (a lot of symptoms are present for various issues), and nobody wants somebody to get the incorrect treatment.

On the other hand, schizophrenia has a lot of variations so I wouldn't know about that. Maybe the professor didn't explain things to you properly?

My recommendation would to talk to your doctor or psych about your concerns and seeing what's the best thing to do. Getting a second opinion/diagnosed again is always an option.

I have one of the schizo types of disorders. I've never heard voices, although professionals think I have because at least twice I heard my thoughts having a conversation by themselves. I identified it as my thoughts though. Anyone else had this happen? Thought I'd bring it up here, it's relevant to OP's own inner voice.

Turns out it is voices, just inside my head not external
