First diagnosis of schizophrenia was 39 years ago. I was nearly 18.5…

so you must of done something like me that was really bad in a pervious life to deserve to have schizo

Over 39 years i’ve had the dx changed 3 times ie schizoaffective mixed type- personality disorder nos- paranoid personality.
The change from schizoaffective came as a result of years of bad relations with the psychiatric services . It is all too common for pdocs to attach the personality label as a stand alone dx to those they don’t like .

I got to agree with you,I always think I had done something bad in previous life,so this life I had to suffer from schizophrenia,and hopefully next life would be a good one for me as I repay my debt which I should pay

I was diagnosed as ADD/ ADHD when I was 7 or 8.

PTSD when I was 14.

OCD and alcohol problems when I was 15.

Drug problems when I was 16.

Undifferentiated Sz when I was 17.

11

I was diagnosed with social anxiety when I was 16. Then after years of going down hill, diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia in 2006.

I kept working for a few years after my diagnosis, until my symptoms became so severe that I felt it was unsafe to practice nursing anymore.

More recently, I’ve been diagnosed with panic disorder and depression in 2009.

I wasn’t diagnosed until last year, I hid my symptoms for most of my adult life, until they got too bad to hide.
