Modern psychiatry is still an art for the shrinks. A test maybye useful in diagnosis but treatment is another issue entirely. What meds and dosages work and how the patient deals with them is the biggest issue. A good psydoc will naviagate that complicated dynamic!

When a lot of the information you hear for years is a hallucination your cognition will naturally be suspect. Also I think the repetitive answering of the question “how are your symptoms now?” makes us hyper aware of every potential problem. So it may not be as bad as you think it is. We can’t ignore however that many of the MRI scans of people with schizophrenia show brain damage and there are varying degrees of illness severity.
