MDD with psychosis, psychosis NOS, schizophrenia.

The ones I agree with are SZA depressive type and GAD.

There’s talk about possible OCD as well

Oh I forgot OCD. Though I’m not sure if I have it or if it’s just related to sza

Schizoaffective… I think depressive type? was my first diagnosis; it was later amended to schizophreniform and has remained that, though I’m due for a reexamination. I’m thinking my first diagnosis fits better now, honestly.

I always thought schizophreniform to he diagnosed it has to be over a month of symptoms but shorter than 6 months of symptoms. After six months they usually change it to schizophrenia of some kind, or another type of psychotic disorder. I could be wrong on that though.

I’m curious to know what their diagnostic reasoning was.

Major depression, borderline personality disorder (wtf?), and bipolar with psychosis.

My current diagnosis of schizoaffective, bipolar type, seems like the most logical given my history of symptoms.

What happened to your ulnar nerve @TomCat?

I think in its early stages sz can look like bpd? At least thags my conclusion from my bpd diagnosis

That was a suicide attempt. I cut it. Don’t like to talk about it too much. I won’t do it again.

I was initially diagnosed with Psychotic Depression, but later the depression went away and the psychotic symptoms didn’t. So i got diagnosed with Schizophrenia and Major Depression.

I’m sorry. I wasn’t thinking when I asked that question. I didn’t mean to stir up any traumatic memories.

I’m glad that you’re feeling better these days.

Early diagnoses were severe, recurrent depression, and bipolar. Present diagnosis: sza, bipolar type.

I was misdiagnosed with OCD

Mis-diagnosed with Borderline PD after a section, before it was Paranoid Psychosis. Cue them stopping my injections - and years of being delusional without being taken seriously. They just thought i was an alcoholic (i was but thats not the point) - i had other shite going on.

I lay the sole blame on that arsehole psychiatrist for the ending of my marriage.

I was misdiagnosed with ADHD like they did to all kids who couldn’t conform in the 90’s and 00’s.

They never investigated any further, they just slapped me with a ritalin prescription that gave me TD and that was it.
