Just wanna see how this Forum breaks down diagnosis wise.
iām diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder depressive type and ptsd. I was sza bipolar type but my doctor changed the diagnosis since I havenāt been manic in months.
Not one of my many doctors have ever told me what my diagnosis was. I read it on an Insurance formā¦Schizophrenia.
I donāt know what to choose. My pdoc thinks Iām SZA but sheās only known me for 2 months, and I disagree with her. I know I get psychosis but we disagree on the cause of it.
Anyway I come here because nobody else on earth can stand to listen to me ramble about toads.
@SzAdmin ran this poll before making the split.
Poll: How would you classify yourself as having, Schiz./SchizAffect, Etc?
Oops!
Sorry, I missed that Poll by Sz Adminā¦or at least forgot about it. My bad!
Still only came here for twinkies anyway.

I am an ex sz/a. I was sz and then sz-a for 30 years until a new pdoc came long deep into psychology and went down the āyouāre personality disorderedā route.
In terms of treatment apart from a yearās pdoc imposed break of medication not much changed.
When I went back on it was to an atypical with antipsychotic and mood stabilising properties instead of a mood stabiliser sometimes with an atypical,
My current dx(repeating this for the umpteenth time) is paranoid PD. My treatment, very much that given to a sz/sz-a/or bipolar with psychotic features ie risperdal consta an atypical depot injection.
My own view I very much fit Psychotic Disorder: Not Otherwise Specified (NOS)
Attenuated psychosis syndrome: This syndrome is characterized by psychotic-like symptoms that are less severe and more transient (and insight is relatively maintained) than what is typically seen in full psychosis.
Which is number 3.
We should have a Category thatās calledā¦
āI Donāt Know What I Gots, But Iām Bat $hit Crackers When Iām Off of My Medsā
I think we could all comfortably post under this category.

I have Schizophrenia and depression but no mania.
I take an antidepressant and antipsychotic medication.
SZ and other. (Aspergerās.)
Oh, andā¦ I really like tacos. REALLY like them.
some times we make tacos at home with a taco kit some salad tomatoes sour cream and ground beef. Other times I get a taco supreme at taco bell.
I always think they are too fiddly for me to make. I used to order online from a Mexican place until they put their minimum order up to Ā£20.
