I’ve always been afraid to ask about my prognosis.

I’m diagnosed with schizophrenia, and my prognosis is most likely for life, but could be manageable.

Never was given a prognosis. Seems bad though. I’m probably middle of the road.

My diagnosis is sza, bipolar type and my prognosis now anyway is good I think. It was a bad prognosis for many years.

I guess I won’t finish high school because I’m schizophrenic, I guess also I’ll never have sex or friends and I need to behave like a schizophrenic

My doctor when I got diagnosed said I would not be able to work commensurate with my experience and education. I am trying to prove him wrong although this is 9 years later.

I would have to go read his last report on me to get his exact words but it was something like that. I do have it saved on my computer.

I have no idea about mine. I just know that in my mid 20s I was at best seen as fit for a group home. At worst fit for a long stay ward.

I’m so sorry @TomCat. Something like the same thing happened to me.

TO ALL

One pdoc in the hospital told me that if I work really hard in therapy, one day I may be able to work part time in a library. SHEESH!

Have you asked?

If you are given a negative prognosis, don’t believe it. Everyone has great potential to be much better and feel much healthier, way beyond a limiting and useless prognosis.

It was an average prognosis that’s what I was told. Not high functioning but not low functioning either.

16

I was given a guarded prognosis which I don’t think is good

17

I know it will be put as of a life thing but I fear the prognosis. Probably good I guess with meds but after my last trip impatient in the end of march, I just don’t know.

18

I’m starting one-on one therapy soon. I don’t think I have schizophrenia. We’re thinking psychotic depression

Paranoid schizophrenia. I don’t know if they released the newest diagnostic manual for psychiatrists but it will have all the different schizophrenias lumped together under one single diagnosis.
They are going to/did phase out differentiating between schizophrenias.

Probably “poor”.
