Am I sz or not?

Not asking for a diagnosis but I wonder this because my doctor said I have paranoid sz but I didn’t get a diagnosis of it and the papers only talk about suspected sz

Naturally, I’m confused.

Think of a diagnosis as a working title. It’s subject to change

We can’t diagnose here, but diagnosis can take many many years. Mine took 11 years to get a better idea, and even now they won’t make an accurate diagnosis…

well, for me, when I was diagnosed with pd. sz,
it was pretty clear cut,
there was no other possiblities of anything else.
I’m glad you’re honest with you doc.

as long as you get the meds you need then it’s all good. The dx will become more clear later (maybe). For me it took a long time to get the right dx too.

Doctors don’t usually like to give out an official diagnosis to minors.
They may give out a generic diagnosis.

I don’t think we really wish that, it will include unethical research on the schizophrenic.
Until, supposedly, they create a replica of a human brain of ours outside of an actual body, which be decades from now, I’ll miss it in my lifetime.
