Thank you for this. I needed it. My t, in i guess an attempt to "encourage" me keeps saying that if i were not DID (which according to him is a cureable disorder) that i also mimic schizophrenia and if it were schizophrenia, that that would require meds for the rest of my life and without them i would have no hopes of getting better, but DID doesnt need meds. Although he and my current pdoc do not believe im scizophrenic, i have been diagnosed in the past with it a few times, and my father is schizophrenic so it could very well be true with me, on top of did, so its not helpful when he tells me "its good its DID and not schizophrenia since schizophrenia can not be cured", that doesnt really help me, its scary that if in time, he or any future pdocs find out im schizo too, that i cant get better without meds, especially since meds scare me. Just because he ruled out schizo doesnt guarantee that other doctors were wrong so what hes been trying to encourage me with is rather discouraging
