Hello,
It’s been some time since I changed my phychiatrist, ( I wrote the reason in a previous post). the new phychiatrist think that I don’t have phychotic symptoms instead he think that I just have social anxiety since I only think that people are talking about me and want to harm me, I am not actually believe that. he says I don’t have schizophrenia because I don’t have any phychotic symptoms anymore. he is decreasing the dose of antiphychotic and increasing the dose of anti-depressant.
I am no longer sure if I even had schizophrenia or my previous phychiatrist misdiagnosed me.
Psychiatric Diagnoses are based on symptoms, so when your symptoms change you may fit new diagnostic criteria and stop fitting other ones.
I’d check the official schziophrenia and social anxiety diagnostic criteria and see which ones you might fill.
