I didnt say anything after that, i really dont like upsetting therapists, its a huge concern of mine. But ive been diagnosed schizo before, its a good possibility. He went on yet again to say DID is at least curable. Hes really not a bad therapist but that comment was upsetting. Sorry to write in this thread about it but yall know my t's views on this, and this was rather upsetting to hear...

why would he be pissed? wouldnt he at least kinda know if you were? i mean hes a mental health professional right?
i had a therapist that on the first day that i had ptsd and my hallucinations/paranoia were from that. they didnt think i had schizophrenia but they also werent experienced in MENTAL illnesses. only emotional distressors.
mental health is technically different from emotional health. of course its all having to do with your head/like your mind but mental illness is (currently) chemical based and you need medication for it while emotional health can be talked through successfully. thats the current model in psychiatry. im not saying thats how i believe it is. im saying thats the current medical model psychiatry goes by today. and most therapists dont have enough experience or arent trained in the part of mental wellbeing that requires meds.
