What were you first diagnosed with before Sz? Specifically were you confused with being bpd?

I originally got bpd as a diagnosis. Now they are saying sz. So I’m wondering is it easy to get confused with?

What were your original diagnosis before sz

nonspecific psychotic and anxiety disorder was my first ever diagnosis

Bpd… Schizypal PD is very often confused with BPD in the beginning.

I can never figure out if bpd stands for bipolar or borderline.

I was initally diagnosed with ADHD, anxiety and depression.

I was originally diagnosed with adjustment disorder with anxiety and ptsd.

Then stressrelated reactive psychosis.

Then a dozen other varying diagnoses. Diagnoses are just words people made up to describe behaviour they think differs from the average, afterall. I dont believe in psychiatric diagnoses much.

Before schizophrenia, I was diagnosed schizotypal and psychosis nos

A psychologist thought I had bpd but I don’t have problems with relationships at all. A lot of bpd characteristics don’t match with me.

My original diagnosis was depression.

Depression, then major depression with psychotic features.

Psychosis then schizophrenia when I had another psychosis in under 6 months from the first psychosis.

Non organic psychosis I think it is called. That’s still my current diagnosis.

My first diagnosis was schizophrenia and OCD, but they were two very distinct disorders.

before sz, i had major depression with psychotic features

I didn’t have anything other then Schizophrenia with my first psychotic break.

I did have depression but it wasn’t diagnosed, now its getting treated.

My first diagnosis was schizoaffective disorder.

Major depressive disorder with psychotic features. Psychosis NOS. Finally schizoaffective depressive type, and that’s what I’m comfortable with. I feel it describes my symptoms best.

I was initially diagnosed as Major Depression, Disorder Psychosis NOS, Generalized anxiety disorder and ADHD.

All my diagnoses still stand except for MDD and Psychosis, which is now Schizoaffective disorder.

My first diagnosis was mild depression. Then major depression recurrent and severe. Then, it was changed to bipolar. Then, it was changed again to schizoaffective, bipolar type. And there it has stayed for the past 27 years.

bipolar disorder with psychotic features, at first. then the next nine years my pdoc called my schizoaffective. he died like seven months ago and the nurses since then have called me schizophrenic.

My diagnosis is Cycloid Psychosis. I was diagnosed with it a couple of years ago.

I was first diagnosed with bipolar then schizophrenia and now schizoaffective disorder
