First of all, your T's whole attitude about this really angers me. You should never be feeling you're in a position where you need to "prove" you have or don't have any particular illness. You shouldn't have to spend your appointment worrying about what T thinks or feels, and whether you could be disappointing him by having symptoms for an illness he'll be "pissed" if you have.
Second, some people, including people with schizophrenia, are helped by anti-psychotics. If they are, great, they should take them! Some people, including people with schizophrenia, are NOT helped by anti-psychotics, and they should NOT take them! Some people are initially helped by meds, and can later wean off them. This attitude that a psychotic disorder means a person must now spend their non-life doped up for eternity with no hope of anything ever being better has to be the most horrible thing a T can ever say to a patient. (sorry for the rant but this really angers me!)
Thanks for this!
