Paranoid schizophrenia
Paranoid personality disorder.
I asked not to know my diagnosis any longer. I just focus on functioning, coping skills and personal development.
(Insomnia>PTSD>Bipolar then Schizo-affective)…Formerly OCD but I followed an online program that ended my symptoms. I really feel for the psychotic ones who are OCD. It would be crippling sometimes…
Psychotic depression, I don’t know what anger problems terms are… Um, and then Asperger’s syndrome, and PTSD
undifferentiated Schizophrenia… a little more disorganized then paranoid. Although I hear the new DSM is getting rid of the sub-categories.
My doc is itching… just itching to change my diagnosis back to schizoaffective disorder.
My diagnosis in the past have been bipolar and schizoaffective disorder - currently its bipolar type 1 mixed with psychotic features - its not your everyday ‘pure’ form or classic bipolar - its close to SZA and involves a lot of anxiety and OCD symptoms
Paranoid schizophrenia (chronic), tremors (medication induced), generalized anxiety disorder
you can tell the details by the numbers next to your active problems on a psychiatrist’s status report, as mine says paranoid schizophrenic 295.32 which means chronic, and my tremors are tremors NEC 333.1 which means medication induced
Generalized anxiety isnt on there, but they medicate me for it and my therapist says I have it. As a psych student who made an A in honors abnormal psych, I do believe that I have generalized anxiety disorder. As a patient I just take the anti-anxiety med and notice it helps me function without losing my ■■■■.
Ask your psychiatrist for a printout of your active problems and then look them up on this site

Undifferentiated schizophrenia, anxiety, depression. The big three!
It’s all about treating symptoms. Don’t worry about what they call you, bro. Just get treated for what you suffer from. Mine told me he treats symptoms not disorders, and he is very respected and people know his name in my city- my medical ethics professor said she knows him, my therapist did an internship with him. He’s ethical and uses a less common treatment model with me, the engineering model, where treatments are offered and I refuse or accept. He has only been paternalistic during one of my episodes- over the phone he ordered me to stop what I was doing and take a pill - for my own good, I was seriously whacked out.
The psychologist who evaluated me was questionably ethical, as he followed Immanuel Kant’s code of ethics which is seriously outdated but still works in some cases, like it did for me- I asked for the complete truth and he told be some really bad news and gave details of my prognosis, which was absolute zero and likely suicide by middle age. I think he was ethical but my medical ethics class and professor said “no” after I explained the case study, as a hypothetical, I didnt say that I was the patient I just spoke in third person. I am actually into Kant, I like absolutes. I just think that it’s idealistic and modern medical problems are beyond Kant’s reasoning, but my problems were not beyond his reasoning and therefore the treatment was ethical.
shizoaffective and i feel i have a bit of PTSD from the trama of having psychosis
currently, to my last knowing, it was paranoid schizophrenia and agoraphobia.
in the past it’s been undifferentiated to account for the disorganized symptoms (mostly formal thought disorder and disorganized behavior) and some amount of negative symptoms, along with agoraphobia. so far as i recall they switched me back to paranoid schizophrenia though after my last hospitalisation, which was, i think i got out in april? unsure. it’s definitely listed as paranoid on my court papers.
edit: i forgot about my childhood ADHD diagnosis i just remembered. wasn’t treated for it then and am not now, so perhaps irrelevant though and thus i forget.
I’m diagnosed paranoid schizophrenia, I have anxiety and some depression but it’s situational. Some PTSD.
chronic auditory hallucinations with severe ptsd. xxx
Nowadays I have residual shizophrenia.

This is a good sign - sounds like a good doctor. A lot of your better psychiatrists treat symptoms as they show up - my current psychiatrist does this and is not so concerned with the dx
