So, I have this thing called psuedobulbar affect which causes me to laugh and cry a lot at the smallest things. Aside from schizophrenia, I’m also diagnosed with depression, anxiety, binge eating disorder, MPD, ADHD, and finally Paranoid personality disorder.
My question is, what do YOU have?
I try not to focus on the diagnoses, If i had something else it is nothing compared to sz. Or it is caused by the sz. Sz is like the big steroid dude dwarfing all the tiny underdevolped dudes. Sz is heavy duty with plenty of stigma. If anything i have ocd combined with anxiety which comes from psychosis. My psychosis causes depression in me as well. But these are all transient i get better when i take more medication. I suppose my diagnosis is drug zombie, the aps are basically artificial personality chips you insert everyday, or if psychosis is a virus thry are antivirus software. It try not to play doctor. If i do have more disorders they are not well defined.
I suppose I could say I have schizophrenia, depression, and anxiety but the VA rated it all together as one disorder so I just call it all paranoid schizophrenia. i think they all stem from the main thing. Without the schizophrenia I don’t think I would have the others.
I have schizophrenia, OCD, PTSD, and anxiety, but the doctors are also talking about adding a mood disorder into the mix.
Doctors are not sure where to place me.
I mean it’s always between Schizoaffective Disorder and Bipolar Disorder with Psychotic features.
Of course I also am diagnosed with OCD and Anxiety.
I guess they will never know for sure.

I have paranoid schizophrenia
I remember sitting in a pathology of mental illness class thinking, yup, that applies to me, yup, that applies to me. I too tend to over react to the smallest stimuli. I make mountains out of molehills. I think my main diagnosis is schizoaffective.
I have akathisia and i feel the need to walk every moment, and paranoid schizophrenia, but also depression and anxiety
Social Anxiety Disorder, Chronic Depression (that has a name but I can’t recall), Bulimia and Schizophrenia (with paranoid aspects, I was told).
Depression, sometimes anxiety, ocd, binge eating disorder, some kind of personality disorder and sz.
paranoid schizophrenia, anxiety disorder nos, attention deficit, mood disorder nos. I have undiagnosed stuff too probably but I can’t communicate well with my dr so it’ll be a while before I ever know anything. ughghh
Paranoid schizophrenia…I qualify for a lot of other things but schizophrenia is the main cause of everything.
I have paranoid schizophrenia and I use to have anorexia.
i have schizoaffective disorder with ptsd and anxiety. my therapist wants me to address the causes of my anxiety. she thinks is mostly caused by my in laws and she is probably right, before i left the hospital they said i had schizophrenia then the clinic said it was borderline personality disorder with psychotic nos. then a few doctors diagnosed me with schizophrenia then finally schizoaffective disorder with ptsd they also said i have a dependent personality.
Sza with a lil bit of paranoia
Major depression with psychotic features (or possibly sza). I was diagnosed with ptsd but believe I am considered to be recovered? So I don’t think it’s in my diagnosis anymore.
Going to share my weird experience with you because it reminded me of it, when I developed PTSD it also manifested as a generalized anxiety disorder. I considered it to be two separate things at the time but when I began to recover from PTSD I realized my general anxiety began to go away as well…and now I no longer have serious anxiety issues.
So if your anxiety problems popped up at the same time as your ptsd, consider that it may all just be the ptsd, that may help to make your treatment more targeted.
Undifferentiated SZ/Bipolar when I was in the hospital… Now that I am seeing prescriber/therapist its just on the schizophrenia spectrum…
Mental health wise not much, most of my diagnoses are physical. I have schizophrenia, PTSD, GAD, insomnia, and psychogenic seizures when I’m stressed.
